A teacher can make 35 quizzes.

Explanation:

Given that,

Total problems = n = 7

Number of questions in a quiz = r = 4

We need to find the ways in which different 4-question geometry quizzes can a teacher make if there are 7 different problems to test.

For that, the combination is used: nCr =
(n!)/(r!(n-r)!)

By putting the values, we get


(7!)/(4!(7-4)!)


(7*6*5*4!)/(4!*3!)


(7*6*5)/(3*2*1)

35 quizzes

Hence, a teacher can make 35 quizzes.
