it looks like to me the only solution you have is 25-12 times 12 which would give you 125

Answer:


^(24)\textrm{C}_(12)

Explanation:

Here we are given an expression which represents


^(n)\textrm{C}_(r)

This is a formula for problems related to combination from topic " Permutation and Combination"

The formula is


^(n)\textrm{C}_(r)=(n!)/((n-r!)r!)

Hence


^(24)\textrm{C}_(12)=(24!)/((24-12)!12!)


^(24)\textrm{C}_(12)=(24!)/(12!12!)


^(24)\textrm{C}_(12)= (24* 23 * 22 * ...... 3 * 2 * 1)/((12* 11* 10* ...... 3 * 2 * 1 ) * (12* 11* 10* ...... 3 * 2 * 1 ))


^(24)\textrm{C}_(12)=(24* 23 * 22 * ...... 15* 14 * 13)/(12* 11* 10* ...... 3 * 2 * 1 )

Solving above multiplication and division we get


^(24)\textrm{C}_(12)=2704156
