The value of ∑ r = 1 10 r · C r n C r - 1 n is equal to

Options

  1. A5 2 n - 9
  2. B10 n
  3. C9 ( n - 4 )
  4. DNone of these

Correct answer

A. 5 2 n - 9

Step-by-step solution

We have, ∑ r = 1 10 r · C r n C r - 1 n = ∑ r = 1 10 n - r + 1 ⇒   ∑ r = 1 10 r · C r n C r - 1 n = ∑ r = 1 10 n + 1 - r ⇒   ∑ r = 1 10 r · C r n C r - 1 n = 10 n + 1 - ∑ r = 1 10 r ⇒   ∑ r = 1 10 r · C r n C r - 1 n = 10 n + 1 - 55 = 10 n - 45 = 5 2 n - 9
