If \( \frac{(2n+3)!}{(2n-1)!}=17160 \), what is the value of (n)?

Correct answer: 5

Cancelling the common factorial terms gives \(\frac{(2n+3)!}{(2n-1)!}=(2n)(2n+1)(2n+2)(2n+3)\). Since \(17160=10\times11\times12\times13\), we have \(2n=10\), and hence \(n=5\). For option 4, the product is \(8\times9\times10\times11\), which is not 17160. Exam tip: In a factorial ratio, expand only the consecutive factors that remain after the smaller factorial is cancelled.
