    if\[I{{f}^{n+1}}{{C}_{r+1}}{{:}^{n}}{{C}_{r}}{{:}^{n-1}}{{C}_{r-1}}=11:6:3\], then nr=

    A) 20                    

    B) 30

    C) 40                   

    D) 50

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Given, \[\frac{^{n+1}{{C}_{r+1}}}{^{n}{{C}_{r}}}=\frac{11}{6}\]or \[\frac{\frac{n+1}{r+1}{{\times }^{n}}{{C}_{r}}}{^{n}{{C}_{r}}}=\frac{11}{6}\] Or \[6n+6=11r+11\]or \[6n-11r=5\]         (1) Also, \[\frac{n{{C}_{r}}}{^{n-1}{{C}_{r-1}}}=\frac{6}{3}\,\,or\text{ }\frac{\frac{n}{r}{{\times }^{n-1}}{{C}_{r-1}}}{^{n-1}{{C}_{r-1}}}=\frac{6}{3}\,\,or\text{ }n=2r\] (2) From (1) and (2), r=5 and n=10, \[\therefore nr=50\]
