Choose any two out of the 12 questions, which can be done in C(12,2) = 66 ways. (The only choice for each one of these is the correct answer.) After doing this, for each of the remaining 10 incorrectly-answered questions, there are two choices, either the wrong answer or a no answer at all, which can be done in ways.
Therefore the probability is , to three significant figures.
