    The inequality \[n!>{{2}^{n-1}}\] is true for

    A) \[n>2\]

    B)        \[n\in N\]

    C) \[n>3\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Let \[P(n)\equiv n!>{{2}^{n-1}};P(3)\equiv 6>4\] Let \[P(k)\equiv k!>{{2}^{k-1}}\] is true. \[\therefore P(k+1)=(k+1)!=(k+1)k!>(k+1){{2}^{k-1}}\] \[>{{2}^{k}}\,(as\,\,k+1>2)\]
