Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The property of combinations states that if \(^{n}C_{a} = ^{n}C_{b}\), then either \(a = b\) or \(a + b = n\). Given \(^{n}C_{10} = ^{n}C_{12}\), since \(10 \neq 12\), it must be that \(10 + 12 = n\). Therefore, \(n = 22\). We are asked to find \(^{n}C_{21}\), which is…
