Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{6}{11}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Greatest value of \({ }^{-10} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}\) is at \(\mathrm{r}=5\) Greatest value of \({ }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}\) is at \(\mathrm{r}=5\)
\(\therefore \frac{{ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}}{{ }^{11} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}}=\frac{{ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_5}{{ }^{11} \mathrm{C}_5}=\frac{\frac{10 !}{5 ! 5 !}}{\frac{11 !}{5 ! 6 !}}=\frac{6}{11}\)
