6.Permutation and Combination
easy
If $x,\;y$ and $r$ are positive integers, then $^x{C_r}{ + ^x}{C_{r - 1}}^y{C_1}{ + ^x}{C_{r - 2}}^y{C_2} + .......{ + ^y}{C_r} = $
A
$\frac{{x\;!\;y\;!}}{{r\;!}}$
B
$\frac{{(x + y)\;!}}{{r\;!}}$
C
$^{x + y}{C_r}$
D
$^{xy}{C_r}$
Solution
(c) The result is trivially true for $r = 1,\;2$.
It can be easily proved by the principle of mathematical induction that the result is true for $r$ also.
