Likewise, the highest power p, dividing 50! , is p n where n = p + 2 + ...

Clearly , p | C50 iff m > 2n.
In case of 47 , m = 2 & n = 1 ;
In case of 43 , m = 2 & n = 1 ;
In case of 37 , m = 2 & n = 1 ;
However , in case of 31 , m = 3 & n = 1.

On solving, we obtain a = 1 and b = –1 or b = – 2.
These values, indeed, render infinitely many solutions to the system. Entering these values, the system
becomes
x + y = 2 (for a = 1 and b = – 1)
or x + 2y = 3 (for a = 1 and b = – 2)

Lastly , A and B are independent ⇒ P(AB) = P(A) P(B) < (P(A))2
