प्रश्न

Find n, if `""^"n""C"_("n" - 2)` = 15

योग

उत्तर

`""^"n""C"_("n" - 2)` = 15

∴ `("n"!)/(["n" - ("n" - 2)]!("n" - 2)!)` = 15

∴ `("n"!)/(2!("n" - 2)!)` = 15

∴ `("n"("n" - 1)("n" - 2)!)/(2  xx ("n" - 2)!)` = 15

∴ n(n – 1) = 15 × 2
∴ n(n – 1) = 30
∴ n(n – 1) = 6 × 5
∴ n = 6  ...(or n – 1 = 5)
