\textbf{Given:}

\mathsf{16_{P_{r-1}}:15_{P_{r-1}}=16:7}

\textbf{To find:}

\textsf{The value of r}

\textbf{Solution:}

\underline{\textbf{Formula used:}}

\mathsf{n_{P_r}=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!}}

\mathsf{n!=n{\times}(n-1)!}

\textsf{Consider,}

\mathsf{16_{P_{r-1}}:15_{P_{r-1}}=16:7}

\mathsf{\dfrac{16_{P_{r-1}}}{15_{P_{r-1}}}=\dfrac{16}{7}}

\mathsf{\dfrac{\dfrac{16!}{(16-r+1)!}}{\dfrac{15!}{(15-r+1)!}}=\dfrac{16}{7}}

\mathsf{\dfrac{\dfrac{16!}{(17-r)!}}{\dfrac{15!}{(16-r)!}}=\dfrac{16}{7}}

\mathsf{\dfrac{16!}{(17-r)!}}{\times}\dfrac{(16-r)!}{15!}}=\dfrac{16}{7}}

\mathsf{\dfrac{15!{\times}16}{(17-r)(16-r)!}}{\times}\dfrac{(16-r)!}{15!}=\dfrac{16}{7}}

\mathsf{\dfrac{16}{17-r}}{\times}\dfrac{1}{1}=\dfrac{16}{7}}

\mathsf{\dfrac{1}{17-r}=\dfrac{1}{7}}

\implies\mathsf{17-r=7}

\implies\mathsf{r=17-7}

\implies\boxed{\mathsf{r=10}}

\textbf{Answer:}

\textsf{Option (a) is correct}
