The total number of ways in which a 10 question , true false exam can be answered is
[tex]2^{10}[/tex]Now let's see why this is so :-
Now the first question can be answered in 2 ways (True or false )
Following which second question can be answered in 2 ways (True or false)
Now the total number of ways in which these two can be answered is
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2\times2=4 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]Similarly for 10 questions the total number of ways will be
[tex]2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2\times2=2^{10}[/tex]
