Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \({ }^{2 n} C_{n}-1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that \[ \begin{array}{r} (1+x)^{n}={ }^{n} C_{0}+{ }^{n} C_{1} x+{ }^{n} C_{2} x^{2} \\ \quad+\ldots+{ }^{n} C_{n} x^{n} \\ \text { and }(x+1)^{n}={ }^{n} C_{0} x^{n}+{ }^{n} C_{1} x^{n-1} \\ \quad+{ }^{n} C_{2} x^{n-2}+\ldots+{ }^{n} C_{n} \end{array} \] On multiplying…
