The total number of ways of answering 5 objective type questions, each question having 4 choices is

For each question, there are 4 choices. Since there are 5 questions, the total number of ways to answer all questions is 4^5.

Step 1: Identify the number of choices for each question, which is 4. Step 2: Identify the total number of questions, which is 5. Step 3: Since each question is independent of the others, you multiply the number of choices for each question by the total number of questions. This is done by raising the number of choices to the power of the number of questions.

So, the total number of ways to answer all questions is 4^5 = 1024.
