Find the number of all three elements subsets of the set`{a_1, a_2, a_3, a_n}` which contain `a_3dot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`.^(n-1) C_(2)`
The number of three elements subsets containing `a_(3)` is equal to the number of ways of selecting 2 elements out of n-1 elements. So, the required number of subsets is `.^(n-1)C_(2)`.
