1/5 or 0.2
There is 1 right answer out of 5 possible answers, so the probability of guessing it correctly is 1/5 or 20% or 0.2.
The probability will depend on how much you know and the extent of guessing.
1/3. Indeed, there were four answers you had to choose from. If one is eliminated as you know it is definitely wrong, then you are left with three possible answers, one of which is correct. Thus you have 1 correct answer out of three possible, and the probability to randomly pick the correct one is 1 out of 3, or 1/3 or 33.333 %

If there are four possible answers to a question, then a guessed answer would have a probability of 1 in 4. If there are six questions, then the mean number of correct answers would be six times 1 in 4, or 1.5
Assuming you reply each answer randomly, your probability is (1/2)10 = 1/1024 (about 0.1%). Of course, if you have at least some idea about some of the questions, your chances improve (you will have to guess on less questions).

To find the probability of getting at least 6 correct answers on a 10-question multiple-choice exam where each question has 5 choices (with only one correct answer), we can model this situation using the binomial probability formula. The probability of guessing correctly on each question is ( p = \frac{1}{5} ) and incorrectly is ( q = \frac{4}{5} ). We need to calculate the sum of probabilities for getting exactly 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 correct answers. Using the binomial formula, the probability ( P(X = k) ) for each ( k ) can be computed, and then summed to find ( P(X \geq 6) ). The resulting probability is approximately 0.0163, or 1.63%.
The probability of getting both answers correct is one chance in nine (0.1111+). There are three possible answers for each question, so there is a 1/3 chance of getting the correct answer to one question. To get the correct answer for both questions, the chances are 1/3 x 1/3 or 1/9.
