The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the maximum number of students in a class who can answer a set of five true-or-false questions, given that no student has answered all questions correctly and no two students have provided the same sequence of answers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Total Possible Answers**: Each question has two possible answers: True (T) or False (F). For five questions, the total number of possible answer combinations is calculated as: \[ 2^5 = 32 \] This means there are 32 different ways to answer the five questions. 2. **Identifying the Correct Answer Sequence**: Among these 32 combinations, there is exactly one sequence that represents all correct answers (let's denote it as C). 3. **Excluding the All-Correct Answer**: Since no student has answered all questions correctly, we must exclude this one correct sequence from our total. Therefore, the number of sequences that can be used by students is: \[ 32 - 1 = 31 \] This means there are 31 different answer sequences that students can use, ensuring that none of them has the all-correct answer. 4. **Conclusion**: Since each student must provide a unique sequence of answers, the maximum number of students who can participate in the class, given the conditions of the problem, is: \[ \text{Maximum number of students} = 31 \] ### Final Answer: The maximum number of students in the class is **31**. ---
