Options
- A3
- B5
- C2
- D4
Correct answer
D. 4
Step-by-step solution
The maximum value of ^6 C _ r occurs at r = 6 2 =3 ^6 C ₃= 6 ! 3 ! 3 ! = 6 5 4 6 =20 As per data given | ^6 C ₃- ^ n C ₃ |=16 ^ n C ₃=20+16 or ^ n C ₃=20-16 If ^n C₃=36 n ! (n-3) ! n ! =36 n(n-1)(n-2)=216 is not possible for n N aligned & If ^ n C ₃=4 n ! ( n -3) ! 3 ! =4 n ( n -1)( n -2)=24 & n =4 aligned
