Question

If P(9, r) = 3024, find r.

✓

Answer

We have, P(9, r) = 3024 ${P}(9,\text{r}) = \frac{9!}{(9-\text{r})!}\Big[\because^\text{n}\text{P}_\text{r}=\frac{\text{n!}}{(\text{n}-\text{r})!}\Big]$ $ \Rightarrow\frac{1}{(9-\text{r})!} =\frac{3024}{9\times 8\times7\times6\times5\times4\times3\times2\times1}$ $ \Rightarrow\frac{1}{(9-\text{r})!} =\frac{336}{8\times7\times6\times5\times4\times3\times2\times1}$ $ \Rightarrow\frac{1}{(9-\text{r})!} =\frac{42}{7\times6\times5\times4\times3\times2\times1}$ $ \Rightarrow\frac{1}{(9-\text{r})!} =\frac{42}{7\times6\times5\times4\times3\times2\times1}$ $ \Rightarrow\frac{1}{(9-\text{r})!} =\frac{1}{5\times4\times3\times2\times1}$ $ \Rightarrow\frac{1}{(9-\text{r})!} =\frac{1}{5!}$ $\Rightarrow (9-\text{r})! =5!$ $\Rightarrow 9-\text{r}= 5$ $\Rightarrow 9-5=\text{r}$ $\Rightarrow 4=\text{r}$ $\Rightarrow \text{r}= 4$ Hence, $ \text{r}= 4 $
