How many different choices of ten questions are there?
14C10 = = 1001
----------------------------------------------
How many groups of ten questions contain four that require proof and six that do not?
6C4 * 8C6 = * = 15 * 28 = 420
----------------------------------------------
How many groups of ten questions contain at least one that requires proof?
All of them. (Or, 1001.) Since only eight questions do not require proof, that means there will always be at least two questions of the group of ten that do require proof.
