Correct answer: C
- Find from the combination inequality
Given
First compute:
Now test integer values of for which the binomial coefficients are defined.
Using row 6 of Pascal's triangle:
Let
Now check values:
- For :
- For :
- For :
Since the inequality is strict, gives
(as the required value fitting the condition).
- Find from the permutation ratio
Given
So,
Using
and
Therefore,
Hence,
- Compute the required expression
We need
With and :
Now,
and
So the sum is
- Final answer
This corresponds to Option C.
