Show Answer

Solution:

  1. n+1C1+n+1C2s1+n+1C3s2++n+1Cn+1sn

=r=1n+1n+1Crsr1

where sn=1+q+q2++qn=1qn+11q

r=1n+1n+1Cr1qr1q=11qr=1n+1n+1Crr=1n+1n+1Crqr=11q[(1+1)n+1(1+q)n+1]=11q[2n+1(1+q)n+1]..(i)

=1(q+12)n+11(q+12)=2n+1(q+1)n+12n(1q).(ii)

From Eqs. (i) and (ii),

n+1C1+n+1C2s1+n+1C3s2++n+1Cn+1sn=2nSn
