If $P(n,r) = 1680$ and $C(n,r) = 70$, then $69n + r! = $
A
$128$
B
$576$
C
$256$
D
$625$
Solution
(b) $P(n,r) = 1680$$\frac{{n!}}{{(n – r)!}} = 1680$…..$(i)$
$C(n,r) = 70$ ==>$\frac{{n!}}{{r!\,(\,n – r)!}} = 70$…..$(ii)$ $\frac{{1680}}{{r!}} = 70$, [From $(i)$ and $(ii)$]
$r! = \frac{{1680}}{{70}} = 24$==> $r = 4$
$\because $ $p(n,4) = \,1680$
$\therefore$ $n(n – 1)(n – 2)(n – 3) = 1680$ ==> $n = 8$
$8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5 = 1680$
Now $69n + r\,! = 69 \times 8 + 4!$
$ = 552 + 24$ $= 576$.
