Find n and r if `""^"n""P"_"r"` = 720 and `""^"n""C"_("n" - "r")` = 120

बेरीज

उत्तर

`""^"n""P"_"r"` = 720

∴ `("n"!)/(("n" - "r")!)` = 720  ...(i)

Also, `""^"n""C"_("n" - "r")` = 120

∴ `("n"!)/(("n" - "r")!("n"-"n"+"r")!) = 120`

∴ `("n"!)/("r"!("n" - "r")!)` = 120  ...(ii)

Dividing (i) by (ii), we get

∴ `(("n"!)/(("n"-"r")!))/(("n"!)/("r"!("n"-"r")!))=720/120`

∴ r!  = 6

∴ r = 3

Substituting r = 3 in (i), we get

∴ `("n"!)/(("n" - 3)!)` = 720

∴ `("n"("n" - 1)("n" - 2)("n" - 3)!)/(("n" - 3)!)` = 720

∴ n(n – 1)(n – 2) = 10 × 9 × 8

∴ n = 10
