MCQ
If ${^\text{20}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}={^\text{20}}\text{C}_{\text{r-10}}$ is then ${^\text{18}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}$ equal to :
  • A
    $4896$
  • $816$
  • C
    $1632$
  • D
    None of these.

Answer

Correct option: B.
$816$
$\text{r}+\text{r}-10=20$
$\Rightarrow 2\text{r}-10=20$
$\Rightarrow 2\text{r}=30$
$\Rightarrow \text{r}=15$
Now,
${^\text{18}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}={^\text{18}}\text{C}_{\text{15}}$
$\therefore\ {^\text{18}}\text{C}_{\text{15}}={^\text{18}}\text{C}_{\text{3}}$
$\therefore\ {^\text{18}}\text{C}_{\text{3}}=\frac{18}{3}\times\frac{17}{2}\times16$
$=816$
