Given : ⁿP₂ = ⁿ⁻¹P₃ + 3(⁷P₂)
To find : Value of n
Solution:
ⁿPₓ = n!/(n-x)!
ⁿP₃ = n!/(n - 3)!
ⁿ⁻¹P₃ = (n-1)!/(n - 4)!
⁷P₂ = 7!/5! = 42
n!/(n - 3)! = (n-1)!/(n - 4)! + 3(42 )
=> n!/(n - 3)! - (n-1)!/(n - 4)! = 3(42 )
=> (n! - (n-3)(n-1)!)/(n - 3)! = 3(42 )
=> (n(n-1)! - (n-3)(n-1)!)/(n - 3)! = 3(42 )
=> (n-1)! (n - n - 3) / (n - 3)! = 3(42 )
=> (n-1)! 3 / (n - 3)! = 3(42 )
=> (n-1)! / (n - 3)! = (42 )
=> ⁿ⁻¹P₂ = ⁷P₂
=> n - 1 = 7
=> n = 8
or
(n-1)! / (n - 3)! = (42 )
=> (n - 1)(n-2) = 42
=> n² - 3n + 2 = 42
=> n² - 3n - 40 = 0
=> n² - 8n + 5n - 40 =0
=> n(n - 8) + 5(n - 8) = 0
=> (n + 5)(n-8) = 0
=> n = -5 or n = 8
n = 8
