Solution

The correct option is C $3^{m + 1} C_{4}$
We know that,
$n =^{m} C_{2} = \frac{m (m - 1)}{2}$
Now,
$^{n} C_{2} = \frac{n (n - 1)}{2} \Rightarrow^{n} C_{2} = \frac{m (m - 1) (\frac{m (m - 1)}{2} - 1)}{2 \times 2} \Rightarrow^{n} C_{2} = \frac{m (m - 1) (m^{2} - m - 2)}{8} \Rightarrow^{n} C_{2} = \frac{m (m - 1) (m + 1) (m - 2)}{8} \Rightarrow^{n} C_{2} = 4! \times \frac{(m + 1) m (m - 1) (m - 2) (m - 3)!}{8 \times 4! (m - 3)!} \Rightarrow^{n} C_{2} = 4! \times \frac{^{m + 1} C_{4}}{8} ∴^{n} C_{2} = 3^{m + 1} C_{4}$

If n= mC2, then the value of nC2 is

The correct option is C 3 m+1C4We know that, n= mC2=m(m−1)2 Now, nC2=n(n−1)2⇒ nC2=m(m−1)(m(m−1)2−1)2×2⇒ nC2=m(m−1)(m2−m−2)8⇒ nC2=m(m−1)(m+1)(m−2)8⇒ nC2=4!×(m+1)m(m−1)(m−2)(m−3)!8×4!(m−3)!⇒ nC2=4!× m+1C48∴ nC2=3 m+1C4
