Question 11 Mark
If ${ }^n C_{10}={ }^n C_{12}$ then find the value of $n$ and then write the value of ${ }^n C _5$.
Answer
${ }^n C_{10}={ }^n C_{12}$
$10=12$ is not possible.
Then $n=10+12=22$
$\begin{aligned}\therefore{ }^{22} C_5 & =\frac{22 \times 21 \times 20 \times 19 \times 18}{1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 4 \times 5} \\& =26334\end{aligned}$

Question 31 Mark
18 students attended the student union meeting of a school. Each shakes hands with the other only once. Find the total number of handshakes.

Number of students $=18$
Here each student shakes hands with the other student only once. We have to get the number of two groups each out of 18 at a time.
Therefore, number of people shaking hands
$\begin{array}{l}={ }^{18} C_2=\frac{18 \times 17}{1 \times 2} \\=9 \times 17 \\=153\end{array}$

Question 51 Mark
Prove that :
${ }^n P_n=6 .{ }^n P_{n-3}$
Answer

$\begin{aligned} \text { LHS }= & { }^n P _n=\frac{n!}{(n-n)!}=\frac{n!}{0!}=n! \\ \text { RHS }= & 6 \cdot{ }^n P _{n-3}=6 \times \frac{n!}{(n-n+3)!}=\frac{6 n!}{3!} \\ & =\frac{6 n!}{6}=n!\end{aligned}$
$\quad\quad$LHS $=$ RHS$\quad$Hence proved.

Question 71 Mark
A person wants to invite six friends. In how many ways can he sent invitation to them if he hires three servants?
Answer
Since a card can be sent by any one of the three servants, hence the number of ways to send invitation letter to the first friend $=3$
Similarly, there are 3 ways to send invitation letter to six friends.
Hence, the number of required methods
$\begin{array}{l}=3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \\=3^6=729 .\end{array}$

Question 81 Mark
If $(n+2)!=20 n!$ then find the value of $n$.
Answer

$\begin{aligned} & & (n+2)! & =20 n! \\ \Rightarrow & & (n+2)(n+1) n! & =20 n! \\ \Rightarrow & & (n+2)(n+1) & =20\end{aligned}$
$\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow \quad n^2+3 n-18=0 \\\Rightarrow \quad(n+6)(n-3)=0 \\\Rightarrow \quad n=3,-6 \\n=-6 \text { is not possible, so } n=3.\end{array}$
