What is the simplified value of ( \frac{22!}{20!}\div\frac{11!}{9!} )?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (\frac{21}{5})

Direct answer: Option B, \\(21/5\\). First simplify each factorial ratio: \\(22!/20!=22\cdot21\\), because all factors through 20 cancel. Similarly, \\(11!/9!=11\cdot10\\). The division therefore becomes \\( (22\cdot21)/(11\cdot10)\\). Cancel 22 with 11 to get 2, so the result is \\(2\cdot21/10=42/10=21/5\\). Option A, 19/5, does not follow from the uncancelled factors. Option B matches the exact calculation. Option C, 23/5, uses incorrect neighbouring factors. Option D, 25/5, is also based on incorrect expansion and equals 5, not the required value. The safe rule is to expand a factorial ratio only by the number of factors missing from the denominator, then cancel before multiplying. Memory cue: \\(m!/(m-2)!=m(m-1)\\).
