Find the value of 11! / (9! × 2!).

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 55

The governing idea is factorial cancellation. A factorial can be written as a product of the required final factors followed by the smaller factorial: 11!=11×10×9!. Also, 2!=2×1=2. Therefore, 11!/(9!×2!)=(11×10×9!)/(9!×2)=(11×10)/2=110/2=55. Thus option B is correct. The expression also represents the combination 11C2, but no combination formula is needed; direct cancellation is the clearest method. Option A results from forgetting to divide by 2!, while option C does not follow from valid cancellation. Option D can arise from an incorrect reduction of 11×10. The factor 9! cancels only with the matching factor in the numerator, not with the entire denominator.
