    If n is an integer greater than 1, then \[a{{-}^{n}}{{C}_{1}}(a-1){{+}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}(a-2)+....+{{(-1)}^{n}}(a-n)=\]  [IIT 1972]

    A) \[a\]

    B) 0

    C) \[{{a}^{2}}\]

    D) \[{{2}^{n}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    L.H.S. =\[a[{{C}_{0}}-{{C}_{1}}+{{C}_{2}}-{{C}_{3}}+...{{(-1)}^{n}}.{{C}_{n}}]\]\[+[{{C}_{1}}-2{{C}_{2}}+3{{C}_{3}}-....+{{(-1)}^{n-1}}n.{{C}_{n}}]\] \[=a.0+0=0\]
