If the total number of m-element subsets of the set \(\mathrm{A}=\left\{\mathrm{a}{1}, \mathrm{a}{2}, \ldots . \mathrm{a}{\mathrm{n}}\right\}\) is \(\mathrm{k}\) times the number of \(\mathrm{m}\) element subsets containing \(\mathrm{a}{4}\), then \(\mathrm{n}\) is

  1. A \((m-1) k\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{mk}\)
  3. C \((m+1) k\)
  4. D \((m+2) k\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{mk}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint: \(n_{c_{m}}=k^{n-1} c_{m-1} \Rightarrow n=m k\)
