    If \[\alpha {{=}^{m}}{{C}_{2}}\], then \[^{\alpha }{{C}_{2}}\]is equal to

    A) \[^{m+1}{{C}_{4}}\]

    B) \[^{m-1}{{C}_{4}}\]

    C) \[3\,.{{\ }^{m+2}}{{C}_{4}}\]

    D) \[3\ .{{\ }^{m+1}}{{C}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\alpha {{=}^{m}}{{C}_{2}}\Rightarrow \alpha =\frac{m(m-1)}{2}\] \[\therefore \]\[^{\alpha }{{C}_{2}}{{=}^{m(m-1)/2}}{{C}_{2}}=\frac{1}{2}.\frac{m(m-1)}{2}\left\{ \frac{m(m-1)}{2}-1 \right\}\] \[=\frac{1}{8}m(m-1)(m-2)(m+1)\] \[=\frac{1}{8}(m+1)\ m(m-1)(m-2)=3\ .{{\ }^{m+1}}{{C}_{4}}\]
