Question 4.
Write in terms of factorials
(i) 5 × 6 × 7 × 8 × 9 × 10
Solution:
5 × 6 × 7 × 8 × 9 × 10
= 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5
Multiplying and dividing by 4!, we get

(ii) 3 × 6 × 9 × 12 × 15
Solution:
3 × 6 × 9 × 12 × 15
= 3 × (3 × 2) × (3 × 3) × (3 × 4) × (3 × 5)
= (35) (5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1)
= 35 (5!)

(iii) 6 × 7 × 8 × 9
Solution:
6 × 7 × 8 × 9
= 9 × 8 × 7 × 6
Multiplying and dividing by 5!, we get

(iv) 5 × 10 × 15 × 20 × 25
Solution:
5 × 10 × 15 × 20 × 25
= (5 × 1) × (5 × 2) × (5 × 3) × (5 × 4) × (5 × 5)
= (55) (5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1)
= (55) (5!)

Question 5.
Evaluate: $$\frac{n !}{r !(n-r) !}$$ for
(i) n = 8, r = 6
Solution:
n = 8, r = 6

(ii) n = 12, r = 12
Solution:
n = 12, r = 12

Question 6.
Find n, if
(i) $$\frac{n}{8 !}=\frac{3}{6 !}+\frac{1}{4 !}$$
Solution:

(ii) $$\frac{n}{6 !}=\frac{4}{8 !}+\frac{3}{6 !}$$
Solution:

(iii) $$\frac{1}{n !}=\frac{1}{4 !}-\frac{4}{5 !}$$
Solution:

Question 7.
Find n, if
(i) (n + 1)! = 42 × (n – 1)!
Solution:
(n + 1)! = 42(n – 1)!
∴ (n + 1) n (n – 1)! = 42(n – 1)!
∴ n2 + n = 42
∴ n(n + 1) = 6 × 7
Comparing on both sides, we get
∴ n = 6

(ii) (n + 3)! = 110 × (n + 1)!
Solution:
(n + 3)! = 110 × (n + 1)!
∴ (n + 3) (n + 2) (n + 1)! = 110 (n + 1)!
∴ (n + 3) (n + 2) = (11) (10)
Comparing on both sides, we get
n + 3 = 11
∴ n = 8

Question 8.
Find n, if:
(i) $$\frac{n !}{3 !(n-3) !}: \frac{n !}{5 !(n-5) !}=5: 3$$
Solution:

∴ 12 = (n – 3)(n – 4)
∴ (n – 3)(n – 4) = 4 × 3
Comparing on both sides, we get
n – 3 = 4
∴ n = 7

(ii) $$\frac{n !}{3 !(n-5) !}: \frac{n !}{5 !(n-7) !}=10: 3$$
Solution:

∴ (n – 5) (n – 6) = 3 × 2
Comparing on both sides, we get
n – 5 = 3
∴ n = 8

Question 9.
Find n, if:
(i) $$\frac{(17-n) !}{(14-n) !}$$ = 5!
Solution:
$$\frac{(17-n) !}{(14-n) !}$$ = 5!
∴ $$\frac{(17-n)(16-n)(15-n)(14-n) !}{(14-n) !}$$ = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1
∴ (17 – n) (16 – n) (15 – n) = 6 × 5 × 4
Comparing on both sides, we get
17 – n = 6
∴ n = 11

(ii) $$\frac{(15-n) !}{(13-n) !}$$ = 12
Solution:
$$\frac{(15-n) !}{(13-n) !}$$ = 12
∴ $$\frac{(15-\mathrm{n})(14-\mathrm{n})(13-\mathrm{n}) !}{(13-\mathrm{n}) !}$$ = 12
∴ (15 – n) (14 – n) = 4 × 3
Comparing on both sides, we get
15 – n = 4
∴ n = 11

Question 10.
Find n if $$\frac{(2 n) !}{7 !(2 n-7) !}: \frac{n !}{4 !(n-4) !}$$ = 24 : 1
Solution:

∴ (2n – 1) (2n – 3) (2n – 5) = 9 × 7 × 5
Comparing on both sides, we get
2n – 1 = 9
∴ n = 5
