JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Binomial Theorem and Mathematical Induction Question Bank Mock Test - Binomial Theorem

  • question_answer
    p is a prime number and n<p<2n. if N=\[^{2n}{{C}_{n}}\], then

    A) p divides N        

    B) \[{{p}^{2}}\]divides N

    C) p cannot divide N

    D) none of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[N{{=}^{2n}}{{C}_{n}}=\frac{(2n)!}{{{(n!)}^{2}}}=\frac{(n+1)(n+2)...(n+n)}{(n!)}\] \[\Rightarrow (n!)N=(n+1)(n+2)...(n+n)\] Since \[n<p<2n,\] so p divides (n+1)(n+2)...(n+n).
