There are 2 options for 1 question

 

There are another 2 options for the other question

 

The remaining 8 must all be false.

 

There are \(10 \choose 8 \) ways to choose which questions are guaranteed to be false

 

So, in total, there is: \(2 \times 2 \times {10 \choose 8} = \color{brown}\boxed{180}\) ways to answer.
