Solution
Here we have to find the value of n.
It is given the combination to solve it using the combination formula and we split some terms and finally we get the required answer.
Formula used: That is nCr=r!(n−r)!n! firstly then simplifying the equation and get the required result.
Complete step-by-step solution:
It is given that the question stated as n∈N such that 2nC3:nC2=44:3
Here we have to find out the value for n
Using the formula ofnCr, nCr=r!(n−r)!n!
We can write the given ratio in an expression as:
⇒3!(2n−3)!2n!:2!(n−2)!n!=44:3
Or we can write the term on equivalently as a fraction:
We just divided the one fraction to the other one
⇒2!(n−2)!n!3!(2n−3)!2n!=344
Now we just reversed both the fractions
⇒3!(2n−3)!2n!×n!2!(n−2)!=344
And if we expand the above expression as follows:
⇒3!(2n−3)!(2n)(2n−1)(2n−2)(2n−3)......1×n(n−1)(n−2)....12!(n−2)!=344
Cancelling the same terms from the numerators and denominators we get:
⇒3!(2n)(2n−1)2(n−1)×n(n−1)2!=344
Expanding the factorial term and we get
⇒62(n)(2n−1)2(n−1)×n(n−1)2=344
Again we cancel the same terms from the numerators and denominators, we get
⇒34(2n−1)=344
We can cancel the multiple of terms on the opposite sides like 44by4 and 3by3
Hence we found an equation
⇒2n−1=11
On adding −1 on both side, we can have
⇒2n=11+1
By applying adding operation in the right hand side
⇒2n=12
On dividing 2 on both side we get,
⇒n=212
We get,
∴n=6
Hence the correct option is (A) that is 6
Note: In this problem we have to verify the answer whether we found the value is correct or not
Verifying the answer:
It is given that 2nC3:nC2=44:3
34(2n−1)=344
We just put the value of n=6 we get
34(2×6−1)=344
On multiply the terms we get,
34(12−1)=344
On subtracting the terms,
34(11)=344
Let us multiply the numerator we get
344=344
Hence the left hand side is equal to the right hand side.
