  • Question
  • If nC r - 1 = 36, nC r = 84 and nC r + 1 = 126 then?


  • Options
  • A. n = 8, r = 4
  • B. n = 9, r = 3
  • C. n = 7, r = 5
  • D. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • n = 9, r = 3 

    Explanation

    nCr - 1 = 36, nCr = 84 and nCr + 1 = 126
    ? nCr / nCr - 1 = 84/36
    ? 3n - 10r + 3 = 0 ....(i)

    nCr + 1 / nCr = 126/84
    ? 2n - 5r - 3 = 0 .............(ii)

    From (i) and (ii) r = 3, n = 9
