Solution

Given:
 15Cr : 15Cr − 1 = 11 : 5
We have,

\[\frac{{}^{15} C_r}{{}^{15} C_{r - 1}} = \frac{11}{5}\]

\[\Rightarrow \frac{15 - r + 1}{r} = \frac{11}{5}\]
\[\frac{{}^n C_r}{{}^n C_{r - 1}} = \frac{n - r + 1}{r}\]

\[\Rightarrow 75 - 5r + 5 = 11r\]
\[ \Rightarrow 16r = 80\]
\[ \Rightarrow r = 5\]
