    If \[^{n}{{C}_{3}}+{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{4}}>{{\,}^{n+1}}{{C}_{3}},\]then [RPET 1999]

    A) \[n>6\]

    B) \[n>7\]

    C) \[n<6\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[{}^{n}{{C}_{3}}+{}^{n}{{C}_{4}}>{}^{n+1}{{C}_{3}}\] Þ \[{}^{n+1}{{C}_{4}}>{}^{n+1}{{C}_{3}}\,\,(\because \,{}^{n}{{C}_{r}}+{}^{n}{{C}_{r+1}}={}^{n+1}{{C}_{r+1}})\] Þ \[\frac{{}^{n+1}{{C}_{4}}}{{}^{n+1}{{C}_{3}}}>1\]Þ  \[\frac{n-2}{4}>1\] \[\Rightarrow n>6\].
