  • A
    20
  • B
    12
  • C
    6
  • D

Answer

  1. 20

Solution:

Give that $^\text{n}\text{C}_{12}=\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_8[\because\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_\text{r}=\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_\text{n-r}]$

$^\text{n}\text{C}_{12}=\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_\text{n-8}$

$\therefore\text{n}-8=12\Rightarrow\text{n}=12+8=20$
