    If \[^{n}{{C}_{12}}{{=}^{\text{ n}}}{{C}_{8}}\] then \[^{n}{{C}_{17}}\] is equal to

    A) 1140                

    B) 1120        

    C) 1120                            

    D) 1110

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[^{n}{{C}_{12}}{{=}^{n}}{{C}_{8}}\] \[\left[ {{\because }^{n}}{{C}_{x}}{{=}^{n}}{{C}_{y}}\Rightarrow x+y=n \right]\] \[\because 12+8=n\] \[\Rightarrow n=20.\] \[\therefore \,{{\,}^{20}}{{C}_{17}}=\frac{20}{17.3}=\frac{20\times 19\times 18}{2\times 3}=20\times 19\times 3=1140\]
