    \[\sum\limits_{k=0}^{10}{^{20}{{C}_{k}}}\]is equal to

    A) \[{{2}^{19}}+\frac{1}{2}\]\[^{20}{{C}_{10}}\]                      

    B) \[{{2}^{19}}\]                    

    C)        \[^{20}{{C}_{10}}\]                         

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\sum\limits_{k=0}^{10}{^{20}{{C}_{k}}{{=}^{20}}{{C}_{0}}{{+}^{20}}{{C}_{1}}+...{{+}^{20}}{{C}_{10}}}\] \[=\frac{1}{2}[2{{\cdot }^{20}}{{C}_{0}}+2{{\cdot }^{20}}{{C}_{1}}+...+2{{\cdot }^{20}}{{C}_{10}}]\] \[=\frac{1}{2}[{{(}^{20}}{{C}_{0}}{{+}^{20}}{{C}_{20}})]+{{(}^{20}}{{C}_{1}}{{+}^{20}}{{C}_{19}})+\]                                                                            \[...+{{2}^{20}}{{C}_{10}}]\] \[=\frac{10}{2}[{{(}^{20}}{{C}_{0}}{{+}^{20}}{{C}_{1}}{{+}^{20}}{{C}_{2}}+...{{+}^{20}}{{C}_{19}}\]                                                                       \[{{+}^{20}}{{C}_{20}}){{+}^{20}}{{C}_{10}}]\] \[=\frac{1}{2}[{{2}^{29}}{{+}^{20}}{{C}_{10}}]\] \[={{2}^{19}}+\frac{1}{2}\]\[^{20}{{C}_{10}}\]
