उत्तर

`""^5P_r = ""^6P_(r-1)`

⇒ `(5!)/((5 -  r)!) = (6!)/((6 - r + 1)!)`

⇒ `(5!)/((5 -  r)!) = (6 xx 5!)/((7 - r )!)`

⇒ `1/((5 - r)!) = 6/((7 - r)(6 - r)(5 - r)!)`

⇒ 1 = `6/((7 - r)(6 - r))`

⇒ (7 - r)(6 - r) = 6

⇒ 42 - 7r - 6r + r- 6 = 0

⇒ r2 - 13r + 36 = 0

⇒ r- 4r - 9r + 36 = 0

⇒ r(r - 4 ) -9 (r - 4) = 0

⇒ r(r - 4)(r - 9) = 0

⇒ (r - 4) = 0 or (r - 9) = 0

⇒ r = 4 or r = 9

It is known that, `""^nP_r = (n!)/((n - r)!) 0 ≤ r ≤ n`

∴ 0 ≤ r ≤ 5

Hence, r ≠ 9

∴ r = 4
