JEE Main 2019 · 12 January · Evening Shift · Mathematics · Binomial Theorem

If n C _ 4 , ^ n C _ 5 and n C _ 6 are in A.P., then n can be

If nC4,nC5n{C}_{4}, {}^{n}{C}_{5} and nC6n{C}_{6} are in A.P., then nn can be

Options

  1. A99
  2. B1414
  3. C1212
  4. D1111

Correct answer

B. 1414

Step-by-step solution

Since, nC4,nC5,nC6n{C}_{4}, {}^{n}{C}_{5}, {}^{n}{C}_{6} are in A.P.

⇒2×nC5=nC4+nC6⇒ 2{\times}^{n}{C}_{5}{=}^{n}{C}_{4}{+}^{n}{C}_{6}

⇒2×n!5!(n−5)!=n!4!(n−4)!+n!6!(n−6)!⇒ 2 \times \dfrac{n !}{5 ! \left(n - 5\right) !} = \dfrac{n !}{4 ! \left(n - 4\right) !} + \dfrac{n !}{6 ! \left(n - 6\right) !}

⇒25!(n−5)!=30+(n−5)(n−4)6!(n−4)!⇒ \dfrac{2}{5 ! \left(n - 5\right) !} = \dfrac{30 + \left(n - 5\right)\left(n - 4\right)}{6 ! \left(n - 4\right) !}

⇒6×2(n−4)=30+n2−9n+20⇒ 6 \times 2\left(n - 4\right) = 30 + {n}^{2} - 9n + 20

⇒n2−21n+98=0⇒ {n}^{2} - 21n + 98 = 0

⇒(n−7)(n−14)=0⇒ \left(n - 7\right)\left(n - 14\right) = 0

⇒n=7⇒ n = 7 or 1414
