The value of ∑ _ r = 1 ^ 10 r · (Cr n)/(Cr - 1 n) is equal to

The value of ∑r=110r⋅CrnCr−1n\mathop{∑}_{r = 1}^{10}r \cdot \dfrac{Cr n}{Cr - 1 n} is equal to

Options

  1. A5(2n−9)5\left(2n - 9\right)
  2. B10n10n
  3. C9(n−4)9 ( n - 4 )
  4. DNone of these

Correct answer

A. 5(2n−9)5\left(2n - 9\right)

Step-by-step solution

We have,

∑r=110r⋅CrnCr−1n=∑r=110(n−r+1)\mathop{∑}_{r = 1}^{10}r \cdot \dfrac{Cr n}{Cr - 1 n} = \mathop{∑}_{r = 1}^{10}\left(n - r + 1\right)

⇒∑r=110r⋅CrnCr−1n=∑r=110{(n+1)−r}⇒ \mathop{∑}_{r = 1}^{10}r \cdot \dfrac{Cr n}{Cr - 1 n} = \mathop{∑}_{r = 1}^{10}\left\{\left(n + 1\right) - r\right\}

⇒∑r=110r⋅CrnCr−1n=10(n+1)−∑r=110r⇒ \mathop{∑}_{r = 1}^{10}r \cdot \dfrac{Cr n}{Cr - 1 n} = 10\left(n + 1\right) - \mathop{∑}_{r = 1}^{10}r

⇒∑r=110r⋅CrnCr−1n=10(n+1)−55⇒ \mathop{∑}_{r = 1}^{10}r \cdot \dfrac{Cr n}{Cr - 1 n} = 10\left(n + 1\right) - 55

=10n−45=5(2n−9)= 10n - 45 = 5\left(2n - 9\right)
