The number of all three element subsets ...

The number of all three element subsets of the set `{a_(1),a_(2),a_(3)......a_(n)}` which contain `a_(3)` , is

A

`""^(n)C_(3)`

B

`""^(n-1)C_(3)`

C

`""^(n-1)C_(2)`

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The number of three element subsets contaning `a^(3)` is equal to the number ways of selecting 2 elements out of n-1 elements.
So, the required number of subsets `=""^(n-1)C_(2)`.
