please let me know the method of solving this question
 
 
in an examination in an objective test there are two sections containing 10 questions each.In section 1,each objective question has 5 choices and only one choice is correct.Section 2 has 4 choices for each question and more than one choice may be correct.Marks for section 2 is awarded only if a student gives all choices correct.There is no negative marking for any section.For each question in section1 and section 2, 1 and 3 marks are will be awarded respectively.
 
1. if a student attempts only two questions,one from section 1 and the other from section 2, then what is the probability that he is awarded marks in both questions?
 
2.what is the probability of getting marks less than 40 for a student ?
 
3. if a student attempts 4 questions, 2 from each section,then what is the probability that he gets 4 marks ?
 
4.if a student attempts all the questions then what is the probability that he gets 5 marks in section 1 and 15 in section 2?
 
answers:
 
1)1/5 * 1/15

2) 1-{(1/5)^10}*{(1/15)^10}

3)(1/5)*(1/15)*(14/15)*(4/5)*4

4)10C5*(1/5)^5*(4/5)^5*10C5*(1/15)^5*(14/15)^5
