(i) n = 8, r = 6
Solution:
n = 8, r = 6
Maharashtra-Board-11th-Commerce-Maths-Solutions-Chapter-6-Permutations-and-Combinations-Ex-6.2-Q5i

Question 6.
Find n, if
(i) \(\frac{n}{8 !}=\frac{3}{6 !}+\frac{1}{4 !}\)
Solution:
Maharashtra-Board-11th-Commerce-Maths-Solutions-Chapter-6-Permutations-and-Combinations-Ex-6.2-Q6i

(ii) \(\frac{n}{6 !}=\frac{4}{8 !}+\frac{3}{6 !}\)
Solution:
Maharashtra-Board-11th-Commerce-Maths-Solutions-Chapter-6-Permutations-and-Combinations-Ex-6.2-Q6ii

(iii) \(\frac{1}{n !}=\frac{1}{4 !}-\frac{4}{5 !}\)
Solution:
Maharashtra-Board-11th-Commerce-Maths-Solutions-Chapter-6-Permutations-and-Combinations-Ex-6.2-Q6iii

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)!
∴ n 2 + n = 42
∴ n(n + 1) = 6 × 7
Comparing on both sides, we get
∴ n = 6

Maharashtra-Board-Solutions

(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:
Maharashtra-Board-11th-Commerce-Maths-Solutions-Chapter-6-Permutations-and-Combinations-Ex-6.2-Q8i
∴ 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:
Maharashtra-Board-11th-Commerce-Maths-Solutions-Chapter-6-Permutations-and-Combinations-Ex-6.2-Q8ii
∴ (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:
Maharashtra-Board-11th-Commerce-Maths-Solutions-Chapter-6-Permutations-and-Combinations-Ex-6.2-Q10
∴ (2n – 1) (2n – 3) (2n – 5) = 9 × 7 × 5
Comparing on both sides, we get
2n – 1 = 9
∴ n = 5
