1. the number of options for each question is 3( not answering, first alternative,second alternative) and all questions have same options. so the total no. of options is 3*3*3*3*3*3 = 3^6 = 729 but this also contains the option no answers answered. henbce 728

for the second question /forum/maths-plz-solve-198734.asp#.T9NJ1LEtjsQ follow this link the answer is given in that the answer is 5775
