Options
- A3
- B2
- C6
- D4
Correct answer
D. 4
Step-by-step solution
Given, 6 . C r 35 = k 2 - 3 . C r + 1 36 ⇒ 36 r + 1 × 35 C r k 2 - 3 = 6 × 35 C r , using properties of binomial coefficient. ⇒ k 2 - 3 = r + 1 6 ⇒ k 2 = 3 + r + 1 6 r can be 5,35 For r = 5 , k = ± 2 r = 35 , k = ± 3 Hence, number of solution = 4
