Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\left(a_0+a_n\right) \cdot 2^{n-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[ \begin{aligned} \sum_{k=0}^n a_k \cdot C_k=a_0 C_0+a_1 C_1+a_2 C_2 & +\ldots+a_n C_n \\ =a_0 C_0+\left(a_0+d\right) C_1 & +\left(a_0+2 d\right) C_2 \\ & +\ldots+\left(a_0+n d\right) C_n \end{aligned} \] Where \(d\) is an common difference of an AP…
