NCERT Solutions for Class-11 Maths Exercise 7.2


Question 1. Evaluate:

(i) 8!

(ii) (ii) 4! – 3!

Solution :
(i) 8! = 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 × 7 × 8 = 40320

(ii) 4! = 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 = 24

3! = 1 × 2 × 3 = 6

∴4! – 3! = 24 – 6 = 18

Question 2.Is 3! + 4! = 7!?

Solution :
3! = 1 × 2 × 3 = 6

4! = 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 = 24

∴3! + 4! = 6 + 24 = 30

7! = 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 × 7 = 5040

∴ 3! + 4! ≠ 7!

Question 3. Compute 8! / 6! × 2!

Solution : The product of the first n natural numbers is n factorial, which is written as n! and is given by, n!=n×(n−1)!

.

First consider the expression in the numerator, that is, 8!

.

According to the definition of the factorial,

8! = 8×(8−1)!

8! = 8×7!

This is further evaluated as,

8! = 8×7×6!

Now, consider the expression in the denominator, that is, 6!×2!

.

This expression can also be written in a way that is, 6!×2×1

.

Consider the expression that is to be determined and evaluated.

8! / 6!×2!=8×7×6! / 6!×2×1

8! / 6!×2! = 8×72

8! / 6!×2!=28

Therefore, the value of the expression given on evaluation is found to be 28.

Question 4. If 1/6! + 1/7! = x/8!, find x

Solution :
Given:   The product of the first n natural numbers is n factorial, which is written as n! and is given by,
