Question: 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}= $ [Karnataka CET 1993; RPET 2001]

Options:

A) $ \frac{x\ !\ y\ !}{r\ !} $

B) $ \frac{(x+y)\ !}{r\ !} $

C) $ ^{x+y}C _{r} $

D) $ ^{xy}C _{r} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • 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.
