Q10. Suppose an untested program was determined to contain 1280 bugs. Three different testing techniques were applied to test the code. Each testing technique is effective to detect 50% of the bugs that exist before the concerned testing technique is applied. After each testing strategy is applied a bug fix cycle is carried out. While fixing a bug, there is a 50% chance of creating another bug. How many bugs would exist in the code after the three testing and bug-fix cycles have been carried out?
a. 400
b. 540
c. 760
d. 840
e. 1024
Answer: b. 540
