6.Permutation and Combination
easy

If $^n{C_r}$ denotes the number of combinations of $n$ things taken $r$ at a time, then the expression $^n{C_{r + 1}} + {\,^n}{C_{r - 1}} + \,2 \times {\,^n}{C_r}$ equals

A

$^{n + 2}{C_r}$

B

$^{n + 2}{C_{r + 1}}$

C

$^{n + 1}{C_r}$

D

$^{n + 1}{C_{r + 1}}$

(AIEEE-2003)

Solution

(b) Expression = $^n{C_{r + 1}}\, + {\,^n}{C_{r – 1}}\, + {\,^n}{C_r} + {\,^n}{C_r}$

= $^n{C_{r + 1}}\, + {\,^{n + 1}}{C_r}\, + {\,^n}{C_r}$

= $^{n + 1}{C_{r + 1}}\, + {\,^{n + 1}}{C_r}$

=$^{n + 2}{C_{r\, + \,1}}$.
