Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(232\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given: \(\frac{^{n} C_{r-1}}{^{n} C_{r}}=\frac{2}{15}\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{r}{n-r+1}=\frac{2}{15}\) \(\Rightarrow 15 r=2 n-2 r+2\) \(\Rightarrow 17 r=2 n+2.........(1)\) also given \(\frac{^{n} C_{r}}{^{n} C_{r+1}}=\frac{15}{70}\) \( \Rightarrow \frac{r+1}{n-r}=\frac{3}{14}\)…
