Counting by critical paranthesis method
Suppose we have to arrange n-pairs of paranthesis is such a way that every arrangement is matched i.e.
number of left paranthesis are always greater than or equal to number of right paranthesis in any length of
the chain from start.
2n!
S is the number of ways of arranging n-right and n-left paranthesis in a row=
n! n!

Let T be the arrangement of (n+1) right and (n–1) left paranthesis =

 2n !
 n  1! n  1!
It can be shown that set of mismatched arrangements of paranthesis in ‘S’ has bijective relation with the set
of arrangements of T.
Since the set of mismatch arrangements in S has bijective relation with the set of arrangements in T.
