The number of elements in the set $\left\{x \in \mathbb{N}:^{20-2 x} c_{x-3} \in \mathbb{N}\right\}$ is

The number of elements in the set $\left\{x \in \mathbb{N}:^{20-2 x} c_{x-3} \in \mathbb{N}\right\}$ is
  1. $3$
  2. $4$
  3. $5$
  4. $6$

Solution

$\because^{20-2 x} C_{x-3} \in N$ So, $20-2 \mathrm{x}>0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{x} < 10$ and $x-3 \geq 0 \Rightarrow x \geq 3$ and $20-2 x \geq x-3 \Rightarrow x \leq \frac{23}{3}$ $\Rightarrow \mathrm{x} \leq 7 \quad\{\because \mathrm{x} \in \mathrm{N}\}$ Now, from above inequalities, we have $3 \leq x \leq 7$ $\because \mathrm{x}$ is a natual number. $\Rightarrow \mathrm{x}=3,4,5,6,7$ So, number of elements in the set $=5$
