If (n!)^2/[(n−1)!(n+1)!] = 5/6, what is the value of n?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 5

Use the two adjacent-factorial identities (n−1)! = n!/n and (n+1)! = (n+1)n!. The denominator becomes [(n!/n)((n+1)n!)] = ((n+1)/n)(n!)^2. Consequently, the given fraction simplifies to n/(n+1). Equating this to 5/6 gives n/(n+1)=5/6. Cross-multiplication yields 6n = 5n+5, so n=5. Substitution confirms that 5!^2/(4!·6!) = 5/6, so option A is correct. The other choices would give 6/7, 7/8, and 8/9 respectively, none of which equals 5/6. The key step is simplifying before substituting numerical values.
