Its not mandatory.There are several points to be considered here. Delivery time available, personnel availability, complexity of the application under testing, availble resources, budget etc. But we should test conver to the maximum extent satisfying the primary functionalities which are must from the customer point of view.

No. Exhaustive testing is not possible and also a time consuming process and hence not recommended.

Use boundary value analysis techinque and equivalence class. Using that we can reduce the no of possible combination

It isn't possible to test all paths in software programs that have practical applications in the real world.  And even if it was possible, it isn't feasible to do so.  It is best to analyze risks and set priorities in order to test the most important things in a cost-effective manner.
