Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 1. (b)

Solution:

  1. We know

(1+x)n=nC0+nC1x+nC2x2++nCnxn

On differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get n(1+x)n1=nC1+2nC2x++nnCnxn1

On multiplying both sides by x, we get

nx(1+x)n1=nC1x+2nC2x2++nnCnxn

Again on differentiating both sides w.r.t. x,

we get

n[(1+x)n1+(n1)x(1+x)n2]

=nC1+22nC2x++n2nCnxn1

Now putting x=1 in both sides, we get

nC1+(22)nC2+(32)nC3++(n2)nCn=n(2n1+(n1)2n2)

For n=20, we get

20C1+(22)20C2+(32)20C3++(20)220C20=20(219+(19)218)=20(2+19)218=420(218)=A(2B) (given) 

On comparing, we get

(A,B)=(420,18)
