    The least value of natural number n satisfying  \[C(n,\,5)+C(n,\,6)\,\,>C(n+1,\,5)\] is [EAMCET 2002]

    A) 11

    B) 10

    C) 12

    D) 13

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[^{n}{{C}_{5}}\,+{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{6}}\,\,>\,{{\,}^{n+1}}{{C}_{5}}\] Þ \[^{n+1}{{C}_{6}}\,\,>\,{{\,}^{n+1}}{{C}_{5}}\] Þ \[\frac{(n+1)!}{6!\,.\,(n-5)!}\,.\,\frac{5!\,.\,(n-4)!}{(n+1)!}\,\,>\,\,1\] Þ \[\frac{(n-4)}{6}\,\,>\,\,1\] Þ \[n-4\,\,>\,\,6\,\,\,\,\Rightarrow \,\,\,n\,\,\,>\,\,10\] Hence according to options n = 11.
