    If \[\frac{2}{9!}+\frac{2}{3!7!}+\frac{1}{5!5!}=\frac{{{2}^{a}}}{b!},\] where \[a,b\in N,\]then the ordered pair (a, b) is

    A) \[(9,10)\]

    B) \[(10,9)\]

    C) \[(7,10)\]

    D) \[(10,7)\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[\frac{2}{9!}+\frac{2}{3!7!}+\frac{1}{5!5!}\] \[=\frac{1}{1!9!}+\frac{1}{3!7!}+\frac{1}{5!5!}+\frac{1}{3!7!}+\frac{1}{9!1!}\] \[=\frac{1}{10!}{{\{}^{10}}{{C}_{1}}+{{\,}^{10}}{{C}_{3}}+{{\,}^{10}}{{C}_{5}}+{{\,}^{10}}{{C}_{7}}+{{\,}^{10}}{{C}_{9}}\}\] \[=\frac{1}{10!}({{2}^{10-1}})=\frac{{{2}^{9}}}{10!}=\frac{{{2}^{a}}}{b!}\] (given) \[\Rightarrow a=9,b=10\]
