Binomial theorem for positive integral Index

Question

Let $(1 + x)^{n} = C_{0} + C_{1} x + C_{2} x^{2} + \dots + C_{n} x^{n}$ and $\frac{C_{1}}{C_{0}} + 2 \frac{C_{2}}{C_{1}} + 3 \frac{C_{3}}{C_{2}} + \dots + n \frac{C_{n}}{C_{n - 1}} = \frac{1}{k} n (n + 1),$ then
value of $k$ is

Moderate

Solution

$\begin{array}{l} r \frac{C_{r}}{C_{r - 1}} = r \frac{n!}{r! (n - r)!} \frac{(r - 1)! (n - r + 1)!}{n!} \\ \Rightarrow \sum_{r = 1}^{n} r \frac{C_{r}}{C_{r - 1}} = \sum_{r = 1}^{n} (n - r + 1) = \frac{1}{2} n (n + 1) \\ ∴ k = 2 . \end{array}$
