We can take the objects as:
0 identical and n distinct;
1 identical and n- 1 distinct;
2 identical and n-2 distinct;
and so on...

∴Total number of ways = r=0 nCr=2n

Thus, (a) is true Number of possible subsets of a set containing n elements is  2n 

Also,  2n+1C0+2n+1C1+2n+1C2++2n+1Cn=22n

Thus, (b) and (c) are also true.
