330 ways. Once we know he must answer the last question, the issue is really one of choosing 4 questions from the first 11 questions on the exam. There are 11 ways to choose the first question, 10 ways to choose the second, 9 ways to choose the third, and 8 ways to choose the fourth, so that would be 11*10*9*8... but the order of the questions doesn't matter. So we divide by the number of ways to rearrange the 4 questions (4*3*2*1=24), to get 330.

How many ways can a student select 7 questions from an exam containing 11 questions if he must answer the last question?

If he must answer the last question, he effectively needs to select 6 from 10. This can be done in 10C6 = 10*9*8*7/(4*3*2*1) = 210 ways.


How many ways can a student select 5 questions from an exam containing twelve questions if he must select the last question?

If he must include the last question, then his choices really boil down tohow many ways he can select 4 more from the remaining 11.The number of ways he can select 4 from 11 is (11 x 10 x 9 x 8) = 7,920 ways .But each group of 4 can be selected in 24 different ways.So he can only wind up with 7920/24 = 330 different groups of questions.
