If 1 n + 1   n C n + 1 n   n C n - 1 + . . . + 1 2   n C 1 + n C 0 = 1023 10 then n is equal to

If 1n+1 nCn+1n nCn-1+...+12 nC1+nC0=102310 then n is equal to

  1. 9
  2. 8
  3. 7
  4. 6

Solution

Given that 1n+1 nCn+1n nCn-1+...+12 nC1+nC0=102310

r=0n1r+1 nCr=102310  n+1Cr+1=n+1r+1 nCr

r=0n1n+1 n+1Cr+1=102310

1n+1n+1C1+n+1C2+...+n+1Cn+1=102310

We know that C0n+C1n+C2n+.......+Cnn=2n

2n+1-1n+1=102310=210-110

n+1=10

n=9

Hence this is the correct option.
