The value of [C(7,0)+C(7,1)]+[C(7,1)+C(7,2)]+…..+[C(7,6)+C(7,7)][\mathrm{C}(7,0)+\mathrm{C}(7,1)]+[\mathrm{C}(7,1)+\mathrm{C}(7,2)]+\ldots..+[\mathrm{C}(7,6)+\mathrm{C}(7,7)] is

Options

  1. A254
  2. B255
  3. C256
  4. D257

Correct answer

A. 254

Step-by-step solution

(7c0+7c1)+\left(7_{c_0}+7_{c_1}\right)+\left(7_{c_1}+7_{c_2}\right)+\ldots .+(7c6+7c7)\left(7_{c_6}+7_{c_7}\right) We know, ncr+ncr−1=n+1cr\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{r}}}+\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{r}-1}}=\mathrm{n}+1_{\mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{r}}} =8c1+8c2+…..+8c7=(8c0+8c1+8c2+…..+8c7+8c8)−(8c0+8c8)=28−(1+1)[ Since, nc0+nc1+nc2+….+ncn=2n]=256−2=254\begin{aligned} & =8_{\mathrm{c}_1}+8_{\mathrm{c}_2}+\ldots . .+8_{\mathrm{c}_7} \\ & =\left(8_{\mathrm{c}_0}+8_{\mathrm{c}_1}+8_{\mathrm{c}_2}+\ldots . .+8_{\mathrm{c}_7}+8_{\mathrm{c}_8}\right)-\left(8_{\mathrm{c}_0}+8_{\mathrm{c}_8}\right) \\ & =2^8-(1+1) \\ & {\left[\text{ Since, } \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{c}_0}+\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{c}_1}+\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{c}_2}+\ldots .+\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{c}_{\mathrm{n}}}=2^{\mathrm{n}}\right]} \\ & =256-2 \\ & =254 \end{aligned}
