    The value of the sum of the series\[3{{\cdot }^{n}}{{C}_{0}}-8{{\cdot }^{n}}{{C}_{1}}+{{13}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}-18{{\cdot }^{n}}{{C}_{3}}+...\]upto\[(n+1)\]terms is

    A)  0                                            

    B) \[{{3}^{n}}\]

    C) \[{{5}^{n}}\]                      

    D)         None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let\[S\]denotes the sum of the series. The general term of the given series is \[{{T}_{r}}={{(-1)}^{r}}{{(3+5r)}^{n}}{{C}_{r}}\](\[nth\]term of AP) \[\therefore \]  \[S=\sum\limits_{r=0}^{n}{{{(-1)}^{r}}}{{(3+5r)}^{n}}{{C}_{r}}\]                 \[=3\sum\limits_{r=0}^{n}{{{(-1)}^{r}}^{n}{{C}_{r}}}+5\sum\limits_{r=0}^{n}{{{(-1)}^{r}}^{n}{{C}_{r}}}\]                 \[=3({{C}_{0}}-{{C}_{1}}+{{C}_{2}}-{{C}_{3}}+{{C}_{4}}-....\]                 \[+{{(-1)}^{n}}\cdot {{C}_{n}})+5(-{{C}_{1}}+2{{C}_{2}}-3{{C}_{3}}\]                 \[+4{{C}_{4}}-...+{{(-1)}^{n}}\cdot n\cdot {{C}_{n}})\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[S=0+0=0\]
