If \(1 \times 1 !+2 \times 2 !+3 \times 3 !+\ldots+n \times n !=11 !-1\), then the maximum value of \({ }^n C_r\) is
  1. 462
  2. 252
  3. 162
  4. 512

Solution

\(\begin{aligned} & 1 \times 1 !+2 \times 2 !+\ldots+n \times n ! \\ & =(2-1) \times 1 !+(3-1) \times 2 !+\ldots+[(n+1)-1] \times n ! \\ & =\{2 \times 1 !+3 \times 2 !+4 \times 3 !+\ldots(n+1) \times n !\} \\ & \quad-\{1 \times 1 !+1 \times 2 !+1 \times 3 !+\ldots+1 \times n !\} \\ & =(n+1) !-1 !=11 !-1 ! \quad \quad \text { (given) } \end{aligned}\) So, \(n=10\) Now, maximum value of \({ }^{10} C_r\) occurs when \(r=\frac{n}{2}=\frac{10}{2}=5\) Now, \({ }^{10} C_5=\frac{10 !}{5 !(10-5) !}=252\)
