The value of ⁴⁷ C₄+ _ j=1 ^5 ^ (52-j) C₃ is
Options
- A⁵² C ₄
- B⁵² C ₂
- C⁴⁸ C ₄
- D⁴⁸ C ₂
Correct answer
A. ⁵² C ₄
Step-by-step solution
The expression ⁴⁷C₄ + _ j=1 ^5 ^ (52-j) C₃ expands to ⁴⁷C₄ + ⁵¹C₃ + ⁵⁰C₃ + ⁴⁹C₃ + ⁴⁸C₃ + ⁴⁷C₃ . Applying Pascal's identity ^ n C_r + n r-1 = ^ n+1 C_r repeatedly: Combining ⁴⁷C₄ + ⁴⁷C₃ yields ⁴⁸C₄ . Adding ⁴⁸C₃ gives ⁴⁸C₄ + ⁴⁸C₃ = ⁴⁹C₄ . Continuing this pattern through ⁵¹C₃ produces ⁵²C₄ . The expression simplifies to ⁵²C₄ , corresponding to option A.
