If ${ }^9 C_3+{ }^9 C_5={ }^{10} C_r$ for some $r \in \mathbb{N}$, then $r=$

If ${ }^9 C_3+{ }^9 C_5={ }^{10} C_r$ for some $r \in \mathbb{N}$, then $r=$
  1. $3$
  2. $4$
  3. $5$
  4. $7$

Solution

${ }^n \mathrm{C}_r={ }^n \mathrm{C}_{n-r}$ $\begin{aligned} & { }^9 \mathrm{C}_5={ }^9 \mathrm{C}_4 \\ & { }^9 \mathrm{C}_3+{ }^9 \mathrm{C}_5={ }^9 \mathrm{C}_3+{ }^9 \mathrm{C}_4 \\ & ={ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_4\left(\because{ }^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}+{ }^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}-1}={ }^{\mathrm{n}+1} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}\right)\end{aligned}$ $r=4$
