    \[\frac{{{C}_{1}}}{{{C}_{0}}}+2\frac{{{C}_{2}}}{{{C}_{1}}}+3\frac{{{C}_{3}}}{{{C}_{2}}}+....+15\frac{{{C}_{15}}}{{{C}_{14}}}=\] [IIT 1962]

    A)  100

    B) 120

    C) \[-120\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    We know that \[\frac{{{C}_{1}}}{{{C}_{0}}}+2\frac{{{C}_{2}}}{{{C}_{1}}}+3\frac{{{C}_{3}}}{{{C}_{2}}}+....+n.\frac{{{C}_{n}}}{{{C}_{n-1}}}=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\] Putting n=15, then\[\frac{15\times (15+1)}{2}=120\].
