    In the expansion of the following expression\[1+(1+x)+\]\[{{(1+x)}^{2}}+.....+{{(1+x)}^{n}}\]the coefficient of \[{{x}^{k}}(0\le k\le n)\] is [RPET 2000]

    A) \[^{n+1}{{C}_{k+1}}\]

    B) \[^{n}{{C}_{k}}\]

    C) \[^{n}{{C}_{n-k-1}}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The expression being in G. P. \[E=1+(1+x)+{{(1+x)}^{2}}+....+{{(1+x)}^{n}}\] \[\frac{{{(1+x)}^{n+1}}-1}{(1+x)-1}={{x}^{-1}}\{{{(1+x)}^{n+1}}-1\}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\]The coefficient of x k in E = The coefficient of \[{{x}^{k+1}}\]in\[\{{{(1+x)}^{n+1}}-1\}\] \[={{\,}^{n+1}}{{C}_{k+1}}\].
