The least value of $n$ for which ${ }^{(n-1)} C_2+{ }^{(n-1)} C_3>{ }^n C_2$ is
The least value of $n$ for which ${ }^{(n-1)} C_2+{ }^{(n-1)} C_3>{ }^n C_2$ is
- $7$
- $4$
- $5$
- $6$
Solution
${ }^{n-1} C_2+{ }^{n-1} C_3>{ }^n C_2$
${ }^n C_3>{ }^n C_2 \Rightarrow \frac{n !}{3 !(n-3) !}>\frac{n !}{2 !(n-2) !}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{3} \geq \frac{1}{(n-2)}$
$\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}-2>3 \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}>5 \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}=6\end{aligned}$
