What is the value of \( \frac{21!}{18!\cdot3!}-\frac{20!}{17!\cdot3!} \)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 190

The expression is \(\binom{21}{3}-\binom{20}{3}\). Using Pascal’s identity, \(\binom{n}{r}-\binom{n-1}{r}=\binom{n-1}{r-1}\), it becomes \(\binom{20}{2}=\frac{20\times19}{2}=190\). Hence, option C is correct. The nearby option 180 is incorrect because the required difference is \(\binom{20}{2}\). Exam tip: use Pascal’s identity for differences of consecutive combinations.
