If \( \frac{(n+1)!}{(n-1)!}=42 \), what is the positive value of (n)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 6

Since \((n+1)!=(n+1)n(n-1)!\), we get \(\frac{(n+1)!}{(n-1)!}=n(n+1)\). Hence, \(n(n+1)=42\), or \(n^2+n-42=0\). The positive solution is \(n=6\), because \(6\times7=42\). Option 7 is not correct because it gives \(7\times8=56\). Exam tip: In factorial ratios, first cancel the common factorial part and write the remaining consecutive factors.
