    Which of the following is the greatest?

    A) \[^{31}{{C}_{0}}^{2}-{{\,}^{31}}{{C}_{1}}^{2}+{{\,}^{31}}{{C}_{2}}^{2}-...-{{\,}^{31}}{{C}_{31}}^{2}\]

    B) \[^{32}{{C}_{0}}^{2}-{{\,}^{32}}{{C}_{1}}^{2}+{{\,}^{32}}{{C}_{1}}^{2}-...+{{\,}^{32}}{{C}_{32}}^{2}\]

    C) \[^{32}{{C}_{0}}^{2}+{{\,}^{32}}{{C}_{1}}^{2}+{{\,}^{32}}{{C}_{2}}^{2}-..+{{\,}^{32}}{{C}_{32}}^{2}\]

    D) \[^{34}{{C}_{0}}^{2}-{{\,}^{34}}{{C}_{1}}^{2}+{{\,}^{34}}{{C}_{2}}^{2}-...+{{\,}^{34}}{{C}_{32}}^{2}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] We know that \[^{n}{{C}_{0}}^{2}+{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{1}}^{2}+...+{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{n}}^{2}=2{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{n}}\] and \[^{n}{{C}_{0}}^{2}-{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{1}}^{2}+...+{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{n}}^{2}\] \[\begin{align}   & =\left\{ \begin{matrix}    0,  \\    {{C}_{n/2}}{{(-1)}^{n/2}},  \\ \end{matrix} \right.\,\,\begin{matrix}    if\,\,n\,\,is\,\,odd  \\    f\,\,n\,\,is\,\,even  \\ \end{matrix} \\  & \,\,\, \\  & ^{\,}i \\ \end{align}\] From this \[^{31}{{C}_{0}}^{2}-{{\,}^{31}}{{C}_{0}}^{2}+{{\,}^{31}}{{C}_{2}}^{2}-...-{{\,}^{31}}{{C}_{31}}^{2}=0\] \[^{32}{{C}_{0}}^{2}-{{\,}^{32}}{{C}_{1}}^{2}+{{\,}^{32}}{{C}_{2}}^{2}-...+{{\,}^{32}}{{C}_{32}}^{2}=-{{\,}^{32}}{{C}_{16}}\] \[^{34}{{C}_{0}}^{2}-{{\,}^{34}}{{C}_{1}}^{2}+{{\,}^{34}}{{C}_{2}}^{2}-...+{{\,}^{34}}{{C}_{32}}^{2}=-{{\,}^{34}}{{C}_{17}}\] \[^{32}{{C}_{0}}^{2}+{{\,}^{32}}{{C}_{1}}^{2}+{{\,}^{32}}{{C}_{2}}^{2}-...+{{\,}^{32}}{{C}_{32}}^{2}={{\,}^{64}}{{C}_{32}}\] Obviously \[^{64}{{C}_{32}}\] is greatest.
