  1. This looks tricky , so break it down into simple steps:-

    Ist question must be from Ch 1, can be chosen in 3 ways.

    2nd .................................... 2 ..........................3 ........

    3rd ......................................3.... 6.........

    5th .......................................4... 6........

    That's 3*3*6*6 ways altogether.

    Now the tricky part:-

    The 4th question can be chosen in 2 ways from the 1st, 2 from the 2nd, 5 from the 3rd, and 5 from the 4th, because we can't count the Qs already chosen again.           That's 2*2*5*5 ways.

    Multiply those ways togeher for the total ways the Qs can be set
