100C2 has a value of 4,950, what is the value of 100C98?
---------
It is the same number.
------
Why?
-----------
100C2 is a count of the number of sets of two you can draw
from a set of 100 items.
---
But every time you draw a set of 2 from 100 you have
automatically determined a set of 98 that you did
not select.
---
The number of sets you did not select = the number
of sets you collected. So the count is the same.
-----------------
In general nCk = nC(n-k)
==============================
Try it: 8C2 = (8*7)/(1*2) = 28
8C6 = (8*7*6*5*4*3)/(1*2*3*4*5*6) = (8*7)/(1*2) = 28
=========================
Cheers,
