Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 8

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(t_n = \binom{n}{3}\) \(\binom{n+1}{3} = \binom{n}{3} + 28\) \(\binom{n+1}{3} - \binom{n}{3} = 28\) \(\binom{n}{2} = 28\) (Using Pascal's identity \(\binom{k}{r} = \binom{k-1}{r} + \binom{k-1}{r-1}\), so \(\binom{n+1}{3} - \binom{n}{3} = \binom{n}{2}\))…
