MCQ
If $C_0+C_1+C_2+\ldots+C_n=256$, then ${ }^{2 n} C_2$ is equal to:
  • A
    56
  • 120
  • C
    28
  • D
    91

Answer

Correct option: B.
120
  1. 120
Solution:
If set S has n elements, then C (n, k)C n, k is the number of ways of choosing k elements from S.
Thus, the number of subsets of SS of all possible values is given by,
$\text{C}(\text{n},0)+\text{C}(\text{n},1)+\text{C}(\text{n},3)+.....+\text{C}(\text{n},\text{n})=2^\text{n}$
Comparing the given equation with the above equation:
$2^\text{n}=256$
$\Rightarrow 2^\text{n}=2^{8}$
$\Rightarrow \text{n}=8$
$\therefore {^\text{2n}}\text{C}_{\text{2}}={^\text{16}}\text{C}_{\text{2}}$
$\Rightarrow {^\text{16}}\text{C}_{\text{2}}=\frac{16!}{2!4!}=\frac{16\times15}{2}=120$
