Options
- A22
- B20
- C21
- D19
Correct answer
C. 21
Step-by-step solution
aligned & A = ^ 2 n -1 C ₂₉ ~B = ^ 2 n -1 C ₁₁ & 2^ 2 n -1 C ₂₉=5 ^ 2 n -1 C ₁₁ & 2 (2 n -1)! 29!(2 n -30)! =5 (2 n -1)! (2 n -12)!11! & 1 29 12 5 = 1 (2 n -12)(2 n -13) (2 n -29) 2 & 1 30 29 12 = 1 (2 n -12)(2 n -13) (2 n -29) 12 & 2 n -12=30 & n =21 aligned
