    If\[{{(1+x)}^{n}}{{=}^{n}}{{C}_{0}}{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{1}}x{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}{{x}^{2}}+....{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{n}}{{x}^{n}},\]then the value of \[\frac{^{n}{{C}_{1}}}{^{n}{{C}_{0}}}+2.\frac{^{n}{{C}_{2}}}{^{n}{{C}_{1}}}+3.\frac{^{n}{{C}_{3}}}{^{n}{{C}_{2}}}+....+n.\frac{^{n}{{C}_{n}}}{^{n}{{C}_{n-1}}}\]is

    A)  \[\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\]

    B)  \[\frac{(n+1)}{n!}\]

    C)  \[\frac{n({{n}^{2}}+1)}{2}\]

    D)  \[n\frac{(n+1)}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Given, \[{{(1+x)}^{n}}{{=}^{n}}{{C}_{0}}{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{1}}{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}{{x}^{2}}+...{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{n}}{{x}^{n}}\] Let\[{{S}_{n}}=\frac{^{n}{{C}_{1}}}{^{n}{{C}_{0}}}+\frac{{{2}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}}{^{n}{{C}_{1}}}+\frac{{{3}^{n}}{{C}_{3}}}{^{n}{{C}_{2}}}+...+\frac{{{n}^{n}}{{C}_{n}}}{^{n}{{C}_{n-1}}}\] Put n= 1,2,3,... \[{{S}_{1}}=\frac{^{1}{{C}_{1}}}{^{1}{{C}_{0}}}=1\] \[{{S}_{2}}=\frac{^{2}{{C}_{1}}}{^{2}{{C}_{0}}}+2.\frac{^{2}{{C}_{2}}}{^{2}{{C}_{1}}}\] \[=\frac{2}{1}+2.\frac{1}{2}=3\] Only option ,\[\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\]satisfies this condition.
