Exercise 6.2 (Solutions)

The solutions of the Exercise 6.1 of book “Model Textbook of Mathematics for Class XI” published by National Book Foundation (NBF) as Federal Textbook Board, Islamabad, Pakistan are given on this page. This exercise consists of the question related to factorial function.

The book misses the definition of the factorial function, which is defined as follows:

Definition of factorial

The factorial of the non-negative integers, denoted as $n!$, is defined as $$ n!=\left\{\begin{array}{l} n(n-1)(n-2)\cdot \ldots \cdot 3 \cdot 2 \cdot 1 \text{ if } n\geq 1,\\ 1 \text{ if } n=0. \end{array} \right. $$

Question 1. Prove the following for $n \in \mathbb{N}$.
(i) ${ }^n P_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$ (ii) $\quad{ }^n P_n={ }^n P_{n-1}$ (iii) ${ }^n P_r=n^{n-l} P_{r-l}$ (iv) ${ }^n P_r={ }^{n-l} P_r+r .^{n-l} P_{r-l}$ (v) ${ }^n P_n=2 \cdot{ }^n P_{n-2}$
Solution Question 1

Question 2. Find $n$, if:
(i) $\quad n P_4=20^n P_2$ (ii) ${ }^{2 n} P_3=100{ }^n P_2$ (iii) $16^n P_3=13^{n+l} P_3$ (iv) ${ }^n P_5=20{ }^n P_3$ (v) $\quad 30^n P_6={ }^{n+2} P_7$
(vi) ${ }^n P_5:{ }^{n-1} P_4=6: 1$ (vii) ${ }^n P_4:{ }^{n-l} P_3=9: 1$ (viii) ${ }^{n-1} P_3:{ }^{n+1} P_3=5: 12$ (ix) ${ }^{2 n-l} P_n:{ }^{2 n+1} P_{n-1}=22: 7$
Solution: Question 2

Question 3. Find $r$, if:
(i). ${ }^{6} P_{r-I}={ }^{5} P_{4}$ (ii). ${ }^{10} P_{r}=2{ }^{9} P_{r}$ (iii). ${ }^{15} P_{r}=210$ (iv). ${ }^{10} P_{r}=3{ }^{10} P_{r-1}$
(v). $4{ }^{6} P_{r}={ }^{6} P_{r+1}$ (vi). $\quad 2^{6} P_{r-l}={ }^{5} P_{r}$ (vii). ${ }^{54} P_{r+3}:{ }^{56} P_{r+6}=1: 30800$
