- D10
Correct answer
C. 15
Step-by-step solution
Let, S = 0 C 1 30 2 + 1 C 1 30 2 + 2 C 2 30 2 + 3 C 3 30 2 . . . . . . . . . . 30 C 30 30 2 Now rewriting the above expression we get, S = 30 C 30 30 2 + 29 C 29 30 2 + 28 C 28 30 2 + 27 C 27 30 2 . . . . . . . . . . + 0 C 0 30 2 Now adding both the equation we get, 2 S = 30 C 1 30 2 + C 1 30 2 + C 2 30 2 + C 3 30 2 . . . . . . . . . . C 30 30 2 ⇒ S = 15 C 30 2 × 30 ⇒ S = 15 C 30 60 = 15 × 60 ! 30 ! 2 Now comparing with S = α 60 ! 30 ! 2 , We get α = 15
