If \({}^{n}C_{13}\), \({}^{n}C_{14}\) and \({}^{n}C_{15}\) are in arithmetic progression, then the positive integer value of '\(n\)' can be

  1. A \(14\)
  2. B \(24\)
  3. C \(41\)
  4. D \(34\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(34\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(^{n}C_{13}\), \(^{n}C_{14}\), and \(^{n}C_{15}\) are in arithmetic progression. \(2 \times {}^{n}C_{14} = {}^{n}C_{13} + {}^{n}C_{15}\) Dividing the equation by \(^{n}C_{14}\), we get: \(2 = \dfrac{^{n}C_{13}}{^{n}C_{14}} + \dfrac{^{n}C_{15}}{^{n}C_{14}}\) Using the…
