Given: \(\frac{^6C_r}{^6P_r} = \frac{1}{6}\)
Recall the formulas:
\(^nC_r = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}, \quad ^nP_r = \frac{n!}{r!}\)
Substitute \( n = 6 \):
\(\frac{^6C_r}{^6P_r} = \frac{\dfrac{6!}{r!(6-r)!}}{\dfrac{6!}{r!}} = \frac{6!}{r!(6-r)!} \times \frac{r!}{6!} = \frac{1}{(6-r)!}\)
So the equation simplifies to:
\(\frac{1}{(6-r)!} = \frac{1}{6}\)
Therefore: (6-r)! = 6
We know that 3! = 6, so:
6 - r = 3 \(\implies\) r = 3
