As it is worded, printed, posted and presented, this problem is INCOMPLETE.


To be complete, it MUST say that among 4 possible answers to each question ONLY ONE ANSWER is correct.


If we accept this assumption / (axiom),  then the  ANSWER  is  C%5B15%5D%5E2 = %2815%2A14%29%2F2 = 15*7 = 105.
Solved.

-------------

But if we do not accept that axiom/assumption, then the answer can be different.
