    If  \[^{2n}{{C}_{3}}:{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}=44:3\],  then for which of the following  values of \[r\], the value of  \[^{n}{{C}_{r}}\] will be 15 [MP PET 1981]

    A) \[r=3\]

    B) \[r=4\]

    C) \[r=6\]

    D) \[r=5\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\frac{(2n)\ !}{(2n-3)\ !\ .\ 3\ !}\times \frac{2\ !\ \times (n-2)\ !}{n\ !}\ =\frac{44}{3}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[n\] \[\Rightarrow 4(2n-1)=44\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[2n=12\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[n=6\] Now \[^{6}{{C}_{r}}=15\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[^{6}{{C}_{r}}{{=}^{6}}{{C}_{2}}\]  or \[^{6}{{C}_{4}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[r=2,\ 4\].
