Let α=∑k=0n\alpha = \mathop{∑}_{k = 0}^{n}\left(\dfrac{{\left(Ck n\right)}^{2}}{k + 1}\right) and β=∑k=0n−1(CknCk+1nk+2)\beta = \mathop{∑}_{k = 0}^{n - 1}\left(\dfrac{Ck n Ck + 1 n}{k + 2}\right). If 5α=6β5\alpha = 6\beta, then nn equals

Correct answer

10

Step-by-step solution

Given,
α=∑k=0n((Ckn)2k+1)\alpha = \mathop{∑}_{k = 0}^{n}\left(\dfrac{{\left(Ck n\right)}^{2}}{k + 1}\right)

⇒α=∑k=0nCkn⋅Cknk+1⋅n+1n+1⇒ \alpha = \mathop{∑}_{k = 0}^{n}\dfrac{Ck n \cdot Ck n}{k + 1} \cdot \dfrac{n + 1}{n + 1}

Now, using Cr+1n+1=n+1r+1⋅CrnCr + 1 n + 1 = \dfrac{n + 1}{r + 1} \cdot Cr n we get,

⇒α=1n+1∑k=0nCk+1n+1⋅Cn−kn⇒ \alpha = \dfrac{1}{n + 1}\mathop{∑}_{k = 0}^{n} Ck + 1 n + 1 \cdot Cn - k n

Now, using ∑k=0nCr+1n+1⋅Cn−rn=Cn+12n+1\mathop{∑}_{k = 0}^{n} Cr + 1 n + 1 \cdot Cn - r n = Cn + 1 2n + 1 we get,

⇒α=1n+1⋅Cn+12n+1........(i)⇒ \alpha = \dfrac{1}{n + 1} \cdot Cn + 1 2n + 1 . . . . . . . . \left(i\right)

Now, solving 

β=∑k=0n−1Ckn⋅Ck+1nk+2n+1n+1\beta = \mathop{∑}_{k = 0}^{n - 1} Ck n \cdot \dfrac{Ck + 1 n}{k + 2}\dfrac{n + 1}{n + 1}

⇒β=1n+1∑k=0n−1Cn−kn⋅Ck+2n+1⇒ \beta = \dfrac{1}{n + 1}\mathop{∑}_{k = 0}^{n - 1} Cn - k n \cdot Ck + 2 n + 1

Now, using ∑k=0nCr+2n+1⋅Cn−rn=Cn+22n+1\mathop{∑}_{k = 0}^{n} Cr + 2 n + 1 \cdot Cn - r n = Cn + 2 2n + 1

⇒β=1n+1⋅Cn+22n+1....(ii)⇒ \beta = \dfrac{1}{n + 1} \cdot Cn + 2 2n + 1 . . . . \left(ii\right)

Now, dividing equation \left(i\right) \text{ and } \left(ii\right)andusingand using\dfrac{Cr n}{Cr - 1 n} = \dfrac{n - r + 1}{r}weget,</p><p>we get,</p><p>\dfrac{\beta}{\alpha} = \dfrac{Cn + 2 2n + 1}{Cn + 1 2n + 1} = \dfrac{2n + 1 - ( n + 2 ) + 1}{n + 2}</p><p></p><p>⇒ \dfrac{\beta}{\alpha} = \dfrac{n}{n + 2} = \dfrac{5}{6}</p><p></p><p>⇒ n = 10
