If ^16 C_ r = ^16 C_ r+2 , find ^7 C_ 4 . - Vidyadip

Question

If ${^\text{16}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}={^\text{16}}\text{C}_{\text{r+2}},$ find ${^\text{7}}\text{C}_{4}.$

✓

Answer

We have,
If ${^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{p}}$
then r + p = n
16 = r + r + 2
r = 7
then ${^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{4}}={^\text{7}}\text{C}_{\text{4}}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{7!}{4!(7-4)!}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{7\times5\times6}{3\times2}$
$\Rightarrow 35$
