    The value of  \[\left( \begin{matrix}    30  \\    0  \\ \end{matrix} \right)\left( \begin{matrix}    30  \\    10  \\ \end{matrix} \right)-\left( \begin{matrix}    30  \\    1  \\ \end{matrix} \right)\left( \begin{matrix}    30  \\    11  \\ \end{matrix} \right)+\left( \begin{matrix}    30  \\    2  \\ \end{matrix} \right)\left( \begin{matrix}    30  \\    12  \\ \end{matrix} \right)+......+\left( \begin{matrix}    30  \\    20  \\ \end{matrix} \right)\left( \begin{matrix}    30  \\    30  \\ \end{matrix} \right)\] [IIT Screening 2005]

    A) \[^{60}{{C}_{20}}\]

    B) \[^{30}{{C}_{10}}\]

    C) \[^{60}{{C}_{30}}\]

    D) \[^{40}{{C}_{30}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[{{(1-x)}^{30}}={{\,}^{30}}{{C}_{0}}{{x}^{0}}-{{\,}^{30}}{{C}_{1}}{{x}^{1}}+{{\,}^{30}}{{C}_{2}}{{x}^{2}}\]\[+......+{{(-1)}^{30}}{{\ }^{30}}{{C}_{30}}{{x}^{30}}\] ....(i) \[{{(x+1)}^{30}}={{\,}^{30}}{{C}_{0}}{{x}^{30}}+{{\,}^{30}}{{C}_{1}}{{x}^{29}}+{{\,}^{30}}{{C}_{2}}{{x}^{28}}\]\[+......+{{\,}^{30}}{{C}_{10}}{{x}^{20}}+....+{{\,}^{30}}{{C}_{30}}{{x}^{0}}\] ....(ii) Multiplying (i) and (ii) and equating the coefficient of x20 on both sides, we get required sum = coefficient of x20 in (1 - x2)30=30C10.
