        A student is allowed to select at most n books from a collection of \[p(x)=a{{x}^{2}}+bx+c\] books. If the total number of ways in which he can select one book is 63, then the value of n is equal to :

    A)  2                                            

    B)  3

    C)  4                                            

    D)  1

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Since the student is allowed to select at most n books out of\[(2n+1)\]books, \[\therefore \]In order to select one book he has to select one book he has the choice to select one, two, three ... n books, thus if T is the total number of ways selecting one book then \[T{{=}^{2n+1}}{{C}_{1}}{{+}^{2n+1}}{{C}_{2}}+.....{{+}^{2n+1}}{{C}_{n}}=63\]?(i) again the sum of binomial coefficients \[^{2n+1}{{C}_{0}}{{+}^{2n+1}}{{C}_{2}}+.....{{+}^{2n+1}}{{C}_{n}}{{+}^{2n+1}}{{C}_{n+1}}+...\] \[={{(1+1)}^{2n+1}}={{2}^{2n+1}}\] Or \[^{2b+1}{{C}_{0}}+2\left( ^{2n+1}{{C}_{1}}{{+}^{2n+1}}{{C}_{2}}+....{{+}^{2n+1}}{{C}_{n}} \right)\]                 \[{{+}^{2n+1}}{{C}_{2n+1}}={{2}^{2n+1}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[1+2(T0+1={{2}^{2n+1}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[1+T=\frac{{{2}^{2n+1}}}{2}={{2}^{2n}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[1+63={{2}^{2n}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{2}^{6}}={{2}^{2n}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[n=3\]
