Work Step by Step

Let $x_{i}$ be the questions in the test then $x_{i}\geq$5 and $x_{1}+x_{2}+...x_{10}$=100 let us define $X_{i}$=$x_{i}$-5 so $X_{i}\geq$0 and $X_{1}+X_{2}+...X_{10}$=100-50 = 50 select 50 indistinguishable objects from 10 distinguishable boxes n=10 r=50 Repetition is allowed, $C$(59,50) = 12,565,671,261
