The correct answer is: 479

Given,

A=1,2,3,4:PA=34Correct answer

B=5,6,7,8,9,10;PB=14 Correct answer

Now total ways in which 8 Correct answer is given will be,

Case (i)  4,4:C44344·C46·144·342

Case (ii) 3,5:C34343·141·C56145·34

Case (iii) 2,6:C24342142·C66146

Total probability  =141034×15×32+4×33×6×3+6×32

=274102.7×15+72+2

Now comparing with 27k410

We get,K=479
