Question 130

The coefficient of $$x^{n - 1}$$ in $$(x - 1)(x - 2)(x - 3) ................. (x - n)$$ is

Solution

Consider the most basic case of (x-1)*(x-2) 
The co-efficient of $$x^{2-1}=x$$ is -3

We can reject option A and C outright. Option D gives value -1, hence, incorrect. 
Only option B gives correct answer.
