Is ^nCr = ^nCn-r true?(a) True(b) FalseI had been asked this question at a job interview.The doubt is from Combinations in chapter Permutations and Combinations of Mathematics – Class 11

Answer»

Right CHOICE is (a) True

The explanation: We know, ^NCR = \(\frac{N!}{(n-r)! r!}\).

REPLACING r by n-r, we get ^nCn-r = \(\frac{n!}{(n-(n-r))!(n-r)!} = \frac{n!}{r! (n-r)!}\) = ^nCr

=> ^nCr = ^nCn-r
