MCQ
If ${^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}+{^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r+1}}={^\text{n+1}}\text{C}_{\text{x}},$ is then x:
  • A
    $\text{r}$
  • B
    $\text{r}-1$
  • C
    $\text{n}$
  • $\text{r}+1$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\text{r}+1$
We have,
${^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}+{^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r+1}}={^\text{n+1}}\text{C}_{\text{x}}$
$\Rightarrow {^\text{n+1}}\text{C}_{\text{r+1}}={^\text{n+1}}\text{C}_{\text{x}}$
$\Rightarrow \text{r}+1=\text{x}$
${^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{x}}={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{y}}$
$\Rightarrow \text{n}=\text{x}+\text{y},\text{x}=\text{y}$
