Question
If $^{(\text{a}^2-\text{a})}\text{C}_{\text{2}}=^{(\text{a}^2-\text{a})\text{}}\text{C}_{\text{4}},$ is then x:
  1. 2
  2. 3
  3. 4
  4. None of these

Answer

  1. 3

Solution:

$\text{a}^{2}-\text{a}=2+4$

$\Rightarrow \text{a}^{2}-\text{a}-6=0$

$\Rightarrow \text{a}^{2}-3\text{a}+2\text{a}-6=0$

$\Rightarrow \text{a}(\text{a}-3)+2(\text{a}-3)=0$

$\Rightarrow (\text{a}+2)(\text{a}-3)=0$

$\Rightarrow \text{a}=-2,\text{a}=3$

$\text{a}=3$
