If (1+x)15=C0+C1x+C2x2++C15x15 then value of the expression S=C2+2C3+3C4++14C15 is

a
13214+1
b
13214
c
13215
d
none of these

detailed solution

Correct option is A

We add −1C0+0C1 to both the sides of S and let                 S1=S−1C0+0C1=S−1.Note that        S1=−1C0+0C1+1C2+2C3+…+13C14+14C15      (1)Using Cr=Cn-r, we rewrite the above expression as       S1=14C0+13C1+12C2+…+0C14+(−1)C15        (2)Adding (1) and (2), we get     2S1=13C0+C1+C2+…+C15=13215⇒ S1=13214 ⇒ S=13214+1
