The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break it down into manageable parts. ### Step 1: Understand the Problem The test paper has two sections: - **Section 1**: Contains 5 questions, each with 4 choices. - **Section 2**: Contains 4 questions, each with 3 choices. We need to find the total number of ways to answer all the questions if every question is attempted. ### Step 2: Calculate the Ways to Answer Section 1 For Section 1, there are 5 questions, and each question has 4 choices. The total number of ways to answer all questions in this section can be calculated using the formula for permutations, which in this case is: \[ \text{Ways for Section 1} = 4^5 \] Calculating \(4^5\): \[ 4^5 = 4 \times 4 \times 4 \times 4 \times 4 = 1024 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Ways to Answer Section 2 For Section 2, there are 4 questions, and each question has 3 choices. The total number of ways to answer all questions in this section is: \[ \text{Ways for Section 2} = 3^4 \] Calculating \(3^4\): \[ 3^4 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 81 \] ### Step 4: Combine the Results To find the total number of ways to answer the entire test paper, we multiply the number of ways to answer Section 1 by the number of ways to answer Section 2: \[ \text{Total Ways} = \text{Ways for Section 1} \times \text{Ways for Section 2} \] Substituting the values we calculated: \[ \text{Total Ways} = 1024 \times 81 \] ### Step 5: Perform the Multiplication Now, we calculate \(1024 \times 81\): \[ 1024 \times 81 = 82944 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the total number of different ways the paper can be answered is: \[ \boxed{82944} \]
