If (1+x)^n=C₀+C₁ x+C₂ x^2+ +C_n x^n , then the sum of the product of the coefficients taken two at a time can be represented by _ i=0 ^n _ j=i+1 ^n C_i C_j=2^a- b ! c(d !)^2 . Then which of the following are correct?
Options
- Aa=2 n-1
- Bb=2 n
- Cc=2
- Dd=n
Correct answer
D. d=n
Step-by-step solution
Note that C_k is binomial coefficient ^n C_k . ( _ i=0 ^n C_i )^2= _ i=0 ^n C_i^2+2 _ i=0 ^n _ j=i+1 ^n C_i C_j _ i=0 ^n _ j=i+1 ^n C_i C_j= 1 2 [ ( _ i=0 ^n C_i )^2- _ i=0 ^n C_i^2 ]= 1 2 [ ( _ i=0 ^n ^n C_i )^2- _ i=0 ^n ( ^n C_i )^2 ]= 1 2 [2^ 2 n - ^ 2 n C_n ]=2^ 2 n-1 - (2 n) ! 2(n !)^2 Therefore, a=2 n-1, b=2 n, c=2, d=n all are true.
