As we have learnt

 ^{n} C_{r}=\frac{n}{r} \cdot^{n-1} C_{r-1}

   

Now, 

^{36}C_{r+1} (k^{2}-3)={^{35}C_{r}}\times {6}

\frac{36}{r+1}. ^{35}C_{r} (k^{2}-3)={^{35}C_{r}}\times {6}

{k^{2}-3=\frac{r+1}{6} \Rightarrow k^{2}=3+\frac{r+1}{6}}

r should be less than or equal to 35

Hence for k to be an integer, r can be 5 and 35

For r=5 we get k = -2, 2

For r=35 we get k=-3,3

We get 4 ordered pair (5,-2), (5,2), (35,-3), (35, 3)
