Question

If both n and r be greater then 1, find the value of x if
Δ=∣ ∣ ∣xCrn1Crn1Cr1x+1CrnCrnCr1x+2Crn+1Crn+1Cr1∣ ∣ ∣=0

Open in App
Solution

Apply C3+C2 and note that
n1Cr1+n1Cr=nCr
Δ=∣ ∣ ∣xCrn+1CrnCrx+1CrnCrn+1Crx+2Crn+1Crn+2Cr∣ ∣ ∣
Now Δ=0 it two columns are identical.
Comparing C1 and C3 we get x=n
Comparing C1 and C2 we get x=n1.
