  in the question of multiple choice test with 5 choices, i think there are 6 possible ways of answering the questions instead of 5 as a person can also leave the question/s unanswered which i think is the 6th way of doing a question.

therefore solution will be... 6^30

but i am not sure, so please let me confirm that my approach is correct or not..smile

  Great article...thanks a ton TG...your articles motivate to study more as concepts seems to be so simple....
I have a question , if you or anyone can help me out...
In how many ways 25 balls can be selected out of 15 identical red balls,20 identical blue balls and 25 identical green balls ?

My Approach : consider 3 persons A,B,C to whom I have to distribute these balls.So, I distribute all balls , say 15 Red to A , 20 Blue to B  and 25 Green to C .Total =60 .
Now I can take out 35 out of them as we want only 25 balls in total.
so, finding solution of equation x+y+z= 35 should give answer . But my answer coming wrong. Correct answer is 281. Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong.
