Here, we have two sections A and B (say), the section A has 3 questions and section B has 5 questions and one question from each section is compulsory, according to the given direction.
`therefore`Number of ways selecting one or more than one question from section A is `2^(3)-1=7`
and number of ways selecting one or more than one questions from section B is `2^(5)-1=31`
Hence, by the principle multiplication, the required number of ways in which a candidate can select the questions.
`=7xx31=217`.
