  1. A \(1020\)
  2. B \(9920\)
  3. C \(1120\)
  4. D \(1000\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1120\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Rightarrow \frac{{ }^n C_{r-1}(2)^{r-1}}{{ }^{ n } C_r(2)^r}=\frac{2}{5}\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{\frac{n !}{(r-1) !(n-r+1) !}}{\frac{n !(2)}{r !(n-r) !}}=\frac{2}{5}\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{r}{n-r+1}=\frac{4}{5} \Rightarrow 5 r=4 n-4 r+4\)…
