If ^n C_ r + ^n C_ r+1 = ^n+1 C_ x , is then x : - Vidyadip

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,
${^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}+{^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r+1}}={^\text{n+1}}\text{C}_{\text{x}}$
$\Rightarrow {^\text{n+1}}\text{C}_{\text{r+1}}={^\text{n+1}}\text{C}_{\text{x}}$
$\Rightarrow \text{r}+1=\text{x}$
${^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{x}}={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{y}}$
$\Rightarrow \text{n}=\text{x}+\text{y},\text{x}=\text{y}$
