The value of (n + 2) C0 2n+1 – (n + 1) C12n + n. C2 2n-1 – … is equal to

Q: The value of (n + 2) C0 2n+1 – (n + 1) C12n + n. C2 2n-1 – … is equal to

(A) 4 (1 + n)

(B) 4n

(C) 2n

(D) 2n + 4

Sol. (x – 1)n = C0 xn – C1 xn-1 + Cnxn-2 – ….

x2 (x – 1)n = C0 xn+2 – C1 xn+1 + C2 xn -….

differentiating with respect to x , we get

2x (x – 1)n + x2n (x – 1)n-1 = (n + 2) C0xn+1 – (n + 1) C1 xn + nC2xn-1 – ………

put, x = 2, we get

(n + 2) C0 xn+1 – (n + 1) C12n + n. C22n-1 – …. = 4 + 4n

Hence (A) is the correct answer.
