if n+1Cr+1 : nCr : n-1Cr-1=11:6:3 .FIND nr.

since 
Cr+1n+1Crn=(n+1)!(n-r)!*(r+1)!*(n-r)!*r!n!Cr+1n+1Crn=(n+1)n!(r+1).r!*r!n!Cr+1n+1Crn=n+1r+1 .........(1)similarly:CrnCr-1n-1=nr .........(2)
therefore from the given equation
Cr+1n+1Crn=n+1r+1=116n+1r+1=1166n+6=11r+116n-11r=5 ......(3)
CrnCr-1n-1=nr=63nr=2n=2r .....(4)
from eq(3) and eq(4):
6*2r-11r=512r-11r=5r=5 and n=2*5=10
thus n = 10 and r =5

hope this helps you
