B) $ 2^{21}-2^{11} $

C) $ 2^{21}-2^{10} $

D) $ 2^{20}-2^{9} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • $ ({{,}^{21}}C _1{{+}^{21}}C _2…..+{{,}^{21}}C _{10}) $ $ -({{,}^{10}}C _1{{+}^{10}}C _2…..{{,}^{10}}C _{10}) $ $ =\frac{1}{2}[({{,}^{21}}C _1+….+{{,}^{21}}C _{10})+({{,}^{21}}C _{11}+….{{,}^{21}}C _{20})] $ $ -(2^{10}-1) $ $ =\frac{1}{2}[2^{21}-2]-(2^{10}-1) $ $ =(2^{20}-1)-(2^{10}-1)=2^{20}-2^{10} $
