Question

If 20Cr = 20Cr−10, then 18Cr is equal to

Options

  • 4896

  • 816

  • 1632

  •  nont of these

MCQ

Solution

816

\[r + r - 10 = 20\] [∵\[{}^n C_x =^n C_y \Rightarrow n = x + y\ \text{or} x = y\]]
\[\Rightarrow 2r - 10 = 20\]
\[ \Rightarrow 2r = 30\]
\[ \Rightarrow r = 15\]
Now,
\[{}^{18} C_r =^{18} C_{15}\]
\[\therefore {}^{18} C_{15} = {}^{18} C_3\]
\[\therefore^{18} C_3 = \frac{18}{3} \times \frac{17}{2} \times 16 = 816\]
