The number of values of satisfying the equation ³⁹ C _ 3 r -1 - ³⁹ C _ r ² = ³⁹ C _ r ²-1 - ³⁹ C _ 3 r is
Options
- A1
- B2
- C3
- D4
Correct answer
B. 2
Step-by-step solution
³⁹ C _ 3 r -1 - ³⁹ C _ r ² = ³⁹ C _ r ²-1 - ³⁹ C _ 3 r ³⁹ C _ 3 r -1 + ³⁹ C _ 3 r = ³⁹ C _ r ²-1 + ³⁹ C _ r ² ⁴⁰ C _ 3 r = ⁴⁰ C _ r ² r ²=3 r or r ²=40-3 r r =0,3 or -8,5 3 and 5 are the values as the given equation is not defined by r=0 and r=-8 . Hence, the number of values of r is 2 .
