If ((n!)²)/((n−1)!(n+1)!) = 11/12, what is the value of n?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 11

Answer: 11, so option B is correct. Simplify the factorials using n!=n(n−1)! and (n+1)!=(n+1)n!. The left side is [n(n−1)!·n!]/[(n−1)!(n+1)n!]. The common factors (n−1)! and n! cancel, leaving n/(n+1). Therefore n/(n+1)=11/12. Cross-multiply: 12n=11(n+1)=11n+11, so n=11. Substitution gives 11/12, confirming the result. Option A would give 10/11, option C would give 12/13, and option D would give 13/14; none equals 11/12. A useful warning is that n! is not n+n or n×n: it is the product 1×2×…×n. Writing neighboring factorials in terms of a common factorial makes the cancellation clear.
