It is proved that $(\begin{matrix} n \\ r \end{matrix}) = (\begin{matrix} n \\ n - r \end{matrix})$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information.

We have to prove the combinatorial explanation of the identity, that is $(\begin{matrix} n \\ r \end{matrix}) = (\begin{matrix} n \\ n - r \end{matrix})$ .

Step 2. Prove the combinatorial explanation of the identity.

The combinatorial explanation of the identity is $(\begin{matrix} n \\ r \end{matrix}) = (\begin{matrix} n \\ n - r \end{matrix})$ .

Taking L.H.S, we have $(\begin{matrix} n \\ r \end{matrix})$ .

Since role="math" localid="1647855220565" $(\begin{matrix} x \\ r \end{matrix}) = \frac{x!}{r! (x - r)!}$ , so

$(\begin{matrix} n \\ r \end{matrix}) = \frac{n!}{r! (n - r)!}$

Therefore, L.H.S = role="math" localid="1647855382907" $\frac{n!}{r! (n - r)!}$

Taking R.H.S, we have $(\begin{matrix} n \\ n - r \end{matrix})$

Since $(\begin{matrix} x \\ r \end{matrix}) = \frac{x!}{r! (x - r)!}$ , so

$(\begin{matrix} n \\ n - r \end{matrix}) = \frac{n!}{(n - r)! (n - n + r)!} = \frac{n!}{r! (n - r)!}$

Therefore, R.H.S $= \frac{n!}{r! (n - r)!}$

As L.H.S = R.H.S, hence it is proved that $(\begin{matrix} n \\ r \end{matrix}) = (\begin{matrix} n \\ n - r \end{matrix})$ .
