Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

(A) nCr−1+nCr^nC_{r-1} + ^nC_r

Using Pascal's Identity (choosing rr items from n+1n+1 things is the same as choosing r−1r-1 from nn plus choosing rr from nn):

nCr−1+nCr=n+1Cr^nC_{r-1} + ^nC_r = ^{n+1}C_r

This matches with (II)


(B) nCr^nC_r

Using the symmetry property of combinations — choosing rr items from nn is the same as choosing n−rn - r items from nn:

nCr=nCn−r^nC_r = ^nC_{n-r}

This matches with (I)


(C) 50Cr=50Cr+2^{50}C_r = ^{50}C_{r+2}

If nCa=nCb^nC_a = ^nC_b, then either a=ba = b or a+b=na + b = n.

Since r≠r+2r \neq r + 2, we use the second condition:

r+(r+2)=50r + (r + 2) = 50

2r+2=502r + 2 = 50

2r=482r = 48

r=24r = 24

This matches with (III)


(D) nP3=9240^nP_3 = 9240

nP3=n(n−1)(n−2)^nP_3 = n(n-1)(n-2)

We need three consecutive decreasing numbers whose product is 92409240. Taking a rough cube root to estimate the middle value:

92403≈21\sqrt[3]{9240} \approx 21

So we try n=22n = 22:

22×21×20=462×20=924022 \times 21 \times 20 = 462 \times 20 = 9240 ✓

Therefore, n=22n = 22

This matches with (IV)


Final matching:

(A)→(II)(A) \rightarrow (II)

(B)→(I)(B) \rightarrow (I)

(C)→(III)(C) \rightarrow (III)

(D)→(IV)(D) \rightarrow (IV)
