Solution

The correct option is E 5, 4
Soln: $\frac{^{n} P_{r}}{^{n} C_{r}}$ = $\frac{120}{5}$ = 24

$^{n}$ C $_{r}$ = $\frac{(^{n} P_{r})}{(r!)}$

$\frac{^{n} P_{r}}{[\frac{^{n} P_{r}}{r!}]}$ = 24

r! = 24

r = 4

Given $^{n}$ P $_{r}$ = 120

$^{n}$ P $_{4}$ = 120

$\frac{n!}{(n - 4)!}$ = 120

n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3) = 120

n = 5

Hence option (e)
