Evaluate the following:

(i) 14C3

(ii) 12C10

(iii) 35C35

(iv) n+1Cn

(v) 



Answer -

(i) 14C3

Let us use theformula,

nCr = n!/r!(n – r)!

So now, value of n =14 and r = 3

nCr = n!/r!(n – r)!

14C3 = 14! / 3!(14 – 3)!

= 14! / (3! 11!)

= [14×13×12×11!] / (3!11!)

= [14×13×12] / (3×2)

= 14×13×2

= 364

(ii) 12C10

Let us use theformula,

nCr = n!/r!(n – r)!

So now, value of n =12 and r = 10

nCr = n!/r!(n – r)!

12C10 = 12! / 10!(12 – 10)!

= 12! / (10! 2!)

= [12×11×10!] / (10!2!)

= [12×11] / (2)

= 6×11

= 66

(iii) 35C35

Let us use theformula,

nCr = n!/r!(n – r)!

So now, value of n =35 and r = 35

nCr = n!/r!(n – r)!

35C35 = 35! / 35!(35 – 35)!

= 35! / (35! 0!)[Since, 0! = 1]

= 1

(iv) n+1Cn

Let us use theformula,

nCr = n!/r!(n – r)!

So now, value of n =n+1 and r = n

nCr = n!/r!(n – r)!

n+1Cn = (n+1)! / n!(n+1 – n)!

= (n+1)! / n!(1!)

= (n + 1) / 1

= n + 1
