If a, b, c are odd positive integers, then number of integral solutions of a + b + c = 13, is
(a) 14 , (b) 21 , (c) 28 , (d) 56
Please read the guide .
Please answer the question in detail
The correct answer is option b) 21
explaination ::
Let a = 2k + 1, b = 2l + 1, c = 2m + 1
where k, l, m are whole number
a + b + c = 13
2k + 1 + 2l + 1 + 2z + 1 = 13
or, x + y + z = 5
The number of integrals solutions
=5+3−1C3−1=7C2
=7.61.2=21
