If he answers 1 questions correctly, he can answer 2 more question wrongly that his score is 0.
Therefore,

P(positive)
= P(answering at least 3 questions correctly)
= 6C3 x (1/5)(1/5)(1/5)(4/5)(4/5)(4/5) + 6C4 x (1/5)4 (4/5)2
 + 6C5 x (1/5)5 (4/5) + (1/5)6
= 309 / 3125
P (0 marks)
= P(answering exactly 2 questions correctly)
= 6C2 x (1/5)2 (4/5)4
= 768 / 3125
P(negative)
= 1 - P(positive) - P(0 marks)
= 2048 / 3125

A.

P(Negative Score) = P(1 Question is correct) + P(0 Question is correct)

P(1 correct) = (6 choose 1) (1/5)
P(0 correct) = 4/5*4/5*4/5*4/5*4/5*4/5

B.

P(Positive Score) = 1 - P(Neagative) - P(Getting a score of zero which is 2Question is correct)

P(2 correct) = (6 choose 2) (1/5)

=> The rest u do it urself baby.
