Question:
what does C power n base 1,2,3 do/mean ?
Answer:

We know that

nCr = n!/{r! * (n - r)!}

Now, nC1 = n!/{1! * (n - 1)!} 

              = n!/(n - 1)! 

              = {n * (n - 1)!}/(n - 1)!    {Since n! = n * (n - 1)! and n! = n*(n-1)*(n-

                                                      2)...3*2*1}

              = n

So, nC1 = n

Again, 

nC2 = n!/{2! * (n - 2)!} 

              = n!/{2 * (n - 2)!} 

              = {n * (n - 1) * (n-2)!}/{2 * (n-2)!}

              = n(n - 1)/2

So, nC2 = n(n - 1)/2

Same, we can define any value of r where r ≤ n
