If \(1^2 \cdot\left({ }^{15} C_1\right)+2^2 \cdot\left({ }^{15} C_2\right)+3^2 \cdot\left({ }^{15} C_3\right)+\ldots\) \(+15^2 \cdot\left({ }^{15} C_{15}\right)=2^m \cdot 3^n \cdot 5^k\), where \(m, n, k \in \mathbf{N}\), then \(\mathrm{m}+\mathrm{n}+\mathrm{k}\) is equal to :
  1. $19$
  2. $21$
  3. $18$
  4. $20$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \sum_{\mathrm{r}=1}^{15} \mathrm{r}^2\left({ }^{15} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}\right) \Rightarrow 15 \sum_{\mathrm{r}=1}^{15} \mathrm{r}^{14} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}-1} \\ & 15 \sum_{\mathrm{r}=1}^{15}(\mathrm{r}-1+1){ }^{14} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}-1} \\ & 15 \cdot 14 \sum_{\mathrm{r}=1}^{15}{ }^{13} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}-2}+15 \sum_{\mathrm{r}=1}^{15}{ }^{14} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}-1} \\ & 15 \cdot 14 \cdot 2^{13}+15 \cdot 2^{14} \\ & 3^1 \cdot 2^{13}(70+10) \\ & 3^1 \cdot 2^{13} \cdot 80 \\ & 3^1 \cdot 5^1 \cdot 2^{17} \\ & \mathrm{~m}=17 \mathrm{n}=1 \quad \mathrm{k}=1 \\ & \text { option }(1)\end{aligned}$
