If    ${{{}^{n + 2}C{}_6} \over {{}^{n - 2}{P_2}}}$ = 11, then n satisfies the equation :
A
n2 + 3n − 108 = 0
B
n2 + 5n − 84 = 0
C
n2 + 2n − 80 = 0
D
n2 + n − 110 = 0

Explanation

${{{}^{n + 2}{C_6}} \over {{}^{n - 2}{P_2}}} = 11$

$\Rightarrow$   ${{\left( {n + 2} \right)!} \over {6!\,\left( {n - 4} \right)!}} = 11\,.\,{{\left( {n - 2} \right)!} \over {\left( {n - 4} \right)!}}$

$\Rightarrow$   (n + 2)!  =  11.6! (n $-$ 2)!

$\Rightarrow$   (n + 2) (n + 1) n (n $-$ 1)   =   11.6!

$\Rightarrow$   (n + 2) (n + 1) n (n $-$ 1) = 11 . 6 . 5 . 4 . 3 . 2 . 1

$\Rightarrow$   (n + 2) (n + 1) n (n $-$ 1)   =  11 . 10 . 9 . 8

$\therefore$   n = 9

This value of n satisfy the equation,

n2 + 3n $-$ 108 = 0

The sum $\sum\limits_{r = 1}^{10} {\left( {{r^2} + 1} \right) \times \left( {r!} \right)}$ is equal to :
A
(11)!
B
10 $\times$ (11!)
C
101 $\times$ (10!)
D
11 $\times$ (11!)

Explanation

$\sum\limits_{r = 1}^{10} {\left( {{r^2} + 1} \right)} \times r!$

$= \sum\limits_{r = 1}^{10} {\left[ {{{\left( {r + 1} \right)}^2} - 2r} \right]\,.\,r!}$

$= \sum\limits_{r = 1}^{10} {\left[ {{{\left( {r + 1} \right)}^2}\,.\,r!\,\, - \,\,2r\,.\,r!} \right]}$

$= \sum\limits_{r = 1}^{10} {\left( {r + 1} \right)\left( {r + 1} \right)!\,\, - \,\,2\sum\limits_{r = 1}^{10} {r\,.\,r!} }$

$= \sum\limits_{r = 1}^{10} {\left[ {\left( {r + 1} \right)\left( {r + 1} \right)!\,\, - \,r\,\,.\,\,r!} \right]} - \sum\limits_{r = 1}^{10} {r\,\,.\,\,r!}$

$= \left[ {\left( {2.2! - 1.1!} \right) + \left( {3.3! - 2.2!} \right) + .... + \left( {11.11! - 10.10!} \right)} \right]$

$- \sum\limits_{r = 1}^{10} {r\,.\,r!}$

$=$   11.11! $-$ 1.1! $-$ $\sum\limits_{r = 1}^{10} {r\,.\,r!}$

$=$ (11.11! $-$ 1) $-$ $\sum\limits_{r = 1}^{10} {\left( {r + 1 - 1} \right)} \,.\,r!$

$=$ (11.11! $-$ 1) $-$ $\sum\limits_{r = 1}^{10} {\left[ {\left( {r + 1} \right)r! - r!} \right]}$

$=$ (11.11! $-$ 1) $-$ $\sum\limits_{r = 1}^{10} {\left[ {\left( {r + 1} \right)! - r!} \right]}$

$=$ (11.11! $-$ 1) $-$ [(2! $-$ 1!) + (3! $-$ 2!) + . . . .+ (11! $-$ 10!)]

$=$ (11.11! $-$ 1) $-$ (11! $-$ 1)

$=$ 11.11! $-$ 11!

$=$ 11! (11 $-$ 1)

$=$ $10\,.\,\left( {11!} \right)$

A man X has 7 friends, 4 of them are ladies and 3 are men. His wife Y also has 7 friends, 3 of them are ladies and 4 are men. Assume X and Y have no common friends. Then the total number of ways in which X and Y together can throw a party inviting 3 ladies and 3 men, so that 3 friends of each of X and Y are in this party, is:
A
468
B
469
C
484
D
485

Explanation

X(7 Friends) Y(7 Friends)
Case 1 3 0 0 3
Case 2 0 3 3 0
Case 3 2 1 1 2
Case 4 1 2 2 1

In Case 1, Case 2, Case 3 and Case 4, total 6 friends are present and 3 from X and 3 from Y and among those 6 friend 3 are ladies and 3 are men in every case.

$\therefore$ No of ways 6 friends can be invited =

$({}^4{C_3} \times {}^3{C_0} \times {}^3{C_0} \times {}^4{C_3})$ + $({}^4{C_0} \times {}^3{C_3} \times {}^3{C_3} \times {}^4{C_0})$ + $\left( {{}^4{C_2} \times {}^3{C_1} \times {}^3{C_1} \times {}^4{C_2}} \right)$ + $\left( {{}^4{C_1} \times {}^3{C_2} \times {}^3{C_2} \times {}^4{C_1}} \right)$

= 16 + 1 + 324 + 144 = 485
