14 April 2011 For the first question, in my opinion the answer is 720. The reason is, in order to complete 6 questions the no. of ways it is possible to do so is, 6P5, which is a factorial of 6, which yields 720. Further to this there will be 6 combinations to answer the questions, which brings us to a total of 726 ways to attempt questions.
