8! = 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 40320

(ii) 6!
Solution:
6!
= 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1
= 720

(iii) 8! – 6!
Solution:
8! – 6!
= 8 × 7 × 6! – 6!
= 6! (8 × 7 – 1)
= 6! (56 – 1)
= 6 × 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 × 55
= 39,600

(iv) (8 – 6)!
Solution:
(8 – 6)!
= 2!
= 2 × 1
= 2

Question 4 Maharashtra Board Solution
Write in terms of factorials (i) 5 × 6 × 7 × 8 × 9 × 10
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
5 × 6 × 7 × 8 × 9 × 10 = 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 × 6 × 5 Multiplying and dividing by 4!, we get

(ii) 3 × 6 × 9 × 12 × 15
Solution:
3 × 6 × 9 × 12 × 15
= 3 × (3 × 2) × (3 × 3) × (3 × 4) × (3 × 5)
= (35) (5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1)
= 35(5!)

(iii) 6 × 7 × 8 × 9
Solution:
6 × 7 × 8 × 9
= 9 × 8 × 7 × 6
Multiplying and dividing by 5!, we get

(iv) 5 × 10 × 15 × 20 × 25
Solution:
5 × 10 × 15 × 20 × 25
= (5 × 1) × (5 × 2) × (5 × 3) × (5 × 4) × (5 × 5)
= (55) (5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1)
= (55) (5!)

Question 5 Maharashtra Board Solution
Evaluate: for (i) n = 8, r = 6
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
n = 8, r = 6

(ii) n = 12, r = 12
Solution:
n = 12, r = 12

Question 6 Maharashtra Board Solution
Find n, if (i)
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:

(ii)
Solution:

(iii)
Solution:

Question 7 Maharashtra Board Solution
Find n, if (i) (n + 1)! = 42 × (n – 1)!
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
(n + 1)! = 42(n – 1)! ∴ (n + 1) n (n – 1)! = 42(n – 1)! ∴ n2 + n = 42 ∴ n(n + 1) = 6 × 7 Comparing on both sides, we get ∴ n = 6

(ii) (n + 3)! = 110 × (n + 1)!
Solution:
(n + 3)! = 110 × (n + 1)!
∴ (n + 3) (n + 2) (n + 1)! = 110 (n + 1)!
∴ (n + 3) (n + 2) = (11) (10)
Comparing on both sides, we get
n + 3 = 11
∴ n = 8

Question 8 Maharashtra Board Solution
Find n, if: (i)
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
∴ 12 = (n – 3)(n – 4) ∴ (n – 3)(n – 4) = 4 × 3 Comparing on both sides, we get n – 3 = 4 ∴ n = 7

(ii)
Solution:

∴ (n – 5) (n – 6) = 3 × 2
Comparing on both sides, we get
n – 5 = 3
∴ n = 8

Question 9 Maharashtra Board Solution
Find n, if: (i) = 5!
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
= 5! ∴ = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 ∴ (17 – n) (16 – n) (15 – n) = 6 × 5 × 4 Comparing on both sides, we get 17 – n = 6 ∴ n = 11

(ii) = 12
Solution:
= 12
∴ = 12
∴ (15 – n) (14 – n) = 4 × 3
Comparing on both sides, we get
15 – n = 4
∴ n = 11

Question 10 Maharashtra Board Solution
Find n if = 24 : 1
Solution & Step-by-Step Answer:
∴ (2n – 1) (2n – 3) (2n – 5) = 9 × 7 × 5 Comparing on both sides, we get 2n – 1 = 9 ∴ n = 5
