Solution

L.H.S. = `((2"n")!)/("n"!)` 

= `(2"n"(2"n" - 1)(2"n" - 2)(2"n" - 3)(2"n" - 4) ... 5.4.3.2.1)/("n"!)`

= `([2"n"(2"n" - 2)(2"n" - 4)  ...  6.4.2][(2"n" - 1)(2"n" - 3)  ...  5.3.1])/("n"!)`

= `([2("n")*2("n" - 1)*2("n" - 2) ... 2(3)*2(2)*2(1)]*[(2"n" - 1)(2"n" - 3)  ...  5.3.1])/("n"!)`

= `([2^"n"("n")("n" - 1)("n" - 2)  ...  3.2.1][(2"n" - 1)(2"n" - 3)  ...  5.3.1])/("n"!)`

= `(2^"n" xx "n"![(2"n" - 1)(2"n" - 3)  ...  5.3.1])/("n"!)`

= 2n(2n – 1)(2n – 3) ... 5.3.1

= R.H.S.
