Question

If alpha = mC2, then alphaC2 is equal to -

  1. space presuperscript m plus 1 end presuperscript C subscript 4   
  2. space presuperscript m minus 1 end presuperscript C subscript 4
       
  3. space presuperscript 3 m plus 2 end presuperscript C subscript 4    
  4. space presuperscript 3 m plus 1 end presuperscript C subscript 4
       

hintHint:

We will expand the value of α=mC2 using nCr=n!r!(nr)!. Similarly, simplify αC2 and then substitute the value of α in the expression of αC2. Then, use the property of factorial and simplify the expression to get the required answer.

The correct answer is: space presuperscript 3 m plus 1 end presuperscript C subscript 4
