A certain question paper contains three parts \(A, B, C\) with four questions in part \(A\), five questions in part \(B\) and six questions in part \(C\). A student is required to answer seven questions choosing at least two questions from each part. Then the total number of different ways a student can choose his seven questions for answering, is

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.
