Open in App

Solution

Given,

$\frac{^{n} P_{4}}{^{n - 1} P_{5}} = 3$

or, $\frac{n (n - 1) (n - 2) (n - 3)}{(n - 1) (n - 2) (n - 3) (n - 4) (n - 5)} = 3$

or, $n = 3 (n - 4) (n - 5)$

or, $3 n^{2} - 27 n + 60 = n$

or, $3 n^{2} - 28 n + 60 = 0$

or, $3 n^{2} - 18 n - 10 n + 60 = 0$

or, $3 n (n - 6) - 10 (n - 6) = 0$

or, $(3 n - 10) (n - 6) = 0$ .

Since $n$ is a natural number then $n = 6$ .
