Answer : -

nCr = n! ÷ (n - r)!r!

6C3 = 6! ÷ (6 - 3)!3!

6C3 = 6! ÷ 3!3!

6C3 = 6•5•4•3! ÷ 3!3!

6C3 = 6•5•4 ÷ 3!

6C3 = 5•4

6C3 = 20

  • n=6
  • r=3
  • Here a word exactly given so we apply combination


\\ \sf\longmapsto {}^nC_r=(n!)/(r!(n-r)!)


\\ \sf\longmapsto {}^6C_3


\\ \sf\longmapsto (6!)/(3!(6-3)!)


\\ \sf\longmapsto (6* 5* 4* 3!)/(3!3!)


\\ \sf\longmapsto (120)/(3!)


\\ \sf\longmapsto (120)/(6)


\\ \sf\longmapsto 30
