We can rewrite the given expression as
\mathrm{\begin{array}{ll} & k\left(n^{2}\right)(n-1)(n+1)(n-2)(n+2)(n-3) \\ & (n+3) \ldots(n+n-1)(n-n+1)=r ! \\ \Rightarrow \quad & k n(1)(2) \ldots(n-1) n(n+1)(n+2) \ldots \\ \Rightarrow \quad & (2 n-1)=r ! \\ & k n(2 n-1) !=r ! \end{array}}

\mathrm{\therefore \quad}   To convert L.H.S. to a factorial, we shall require,\mathrm{k= 2} which will convert it into \mathrm{(2 n)!}
