MCQ
Choose the correct answer. If $^nC_{12}$=$^nC_8$ , then n is equal to.
  • ✓
    $20$
  • B
    $12$
  • C
    $6$
  • D
    $30$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$20$
Give that $^\text{n}\text{C}_{12}=\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_8[\because\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_\text{r}=\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_\text{n-r}]$
$^\text{n}\text{C}_{12}=\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_\text{n-8}$
$\therefore\text{n}-8=12$
$\Rightarrow\text{n}=12+8=20$
