MCQ
If $^{n + 1}{C_3} = 2{\,^n}{C_2},$ then $n =$
  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $4$
  • $5$
  • D
    $6$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$5$
c
(c) $^{n + 1}{C_3} = 2\,.{\,^n}{C_2}$

==> $\frac{{(n + 1)!}}{{3!\,.\,(n - 2)!}} = 2\,.\,\frac{{n!}}{{2!.(n - 2)!}}$

==> $\frac{{n + 1}}{{3\,.\,2!}} = \frac{2}{{2!}}$

==> $n + 1 = 6\,\, \Rightarrow \,n = 5$.
