    The value of \[{}^{50}{{C}_{4}}+\sum\limits_{r=1}^{6}{^{56-r}{{C}_{3}}}\] is [AIEEE 2005]

    A) \[^{56}{{C}_{3}}\]

    B) \[^{56}{{C}_{4}}\]

    C) \[^{55}{{C}_{4}}\]

    D) \[^{55}{{C}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[{{\,}^{50}}{{C}_{4}}+\,\left( ^{50}{{C}_{3}}{{+}^{51}}{{C}_{3}}+{{\,}^{52}}{{C}_{3}}+......{{\,}^{55}}{{C}_{3}} \right)\]. Taking first two terms together and adding them and following the same pattern, we get\[{{\,}^{56}}{{C}_{4}}\], \[[As\,{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{r}}+{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{r-1}}={{\,}^{n+1}}{{C}_{r}}]\].
