# If 28c2r : 24c2r − 4 = 225 : 11, Find R. - Mathematics

If 28C2r : 24C2r − 4 = 225 : 11, find r.

#### Solution

We have,  28C2r : 24C2r − 4 = 225 : 11

$\Rightarrow \frac{{}^{28} C_{2r}}{{}^{24} C_{2r - 4}} = \frac{225}{11}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{28!}{2r! (28 - 2r)!} \times \frac{(2r - 4)! (28 - 2r)!}{24!} = \frac{225}{11}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{28 \times 27 \times 26 \times 25}{2r (2r - 1) (2r - 2) (2r - 3)} = \frac{225}{11}$
$\Rightarrow 2r (2r - 1) (2r - 2) (2r - 3) = \frac{28 \times 27 \times 26 \times 25 \times 11}{225}$
$\Rightarrow 2r (2r - 1) (2r - 2) (2r - 3) = 28 \times 3 \times 26 \times 11$
$\Rightarrow 2r (2r - 1) (2r - 2) (2r - 3) = 4 \times 7 \times 3 \times 13 \times 2 \times 11$
$\Rightarrow 2r (2r - 1) (2r - 2) (2r - 3) = (2 \times 7) \times 13 \times (3 \times 4) \times 11$
$\Rightarrow 2r (2r - 1) (2r - 2) (2r - 3) = 14 \times 13 \times 12 \times 11$
$\Rightarrow 2r = 14$
$\Rightarrow r = 7$
