If ^ 18 C_x= ^ 18 C_ x+2 , Find x. - Vidyadip

Question

If ${ }^{18} C_x={ }^{18} C_{x+2}$, Find $x$.

✓

Answer

We have, If ${ }^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{p}}={ }^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{q}}=\mathrm{n}$
Then $\mathrm{p}+\mathrm{q}=\mathrm{n}$
Also, ${ }^{18} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{x}}={ }^{18} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{x}+2}$ $\Rightarrow x+x+2=182 x+2=182 x=18-22 x=16 x=8$
