{22} + {20} = 22*{20} +{20} = 23*{20}

A

{22} + {20} = 22*{20*18*-------*2} + {20*18*16-------*2} = 23*{20}

Hence 23

hi..

two ways..

1) as given above..
{22} + {20} = 22*(20*18......*2)+(20*18....*2)=(22+1)(20*18...*2)=23{20}

2) {22} + {20}
$$2*4*.....*22+2*4...20 = 2^{11}*(1*2*3...*11)+2^{10}*(1*2*3....*10) = 2^{11}*11!+2^{10}*10! = 2*2^{10}*11*10!+2^{10}*10!=2^{10}*10!*(2*11+1)=2^{10}*10!*23$$
so 23
