The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

$\sum^{25}_{r=0} {^{50}C_{r}} . {^{50-r}C_{25-r}} $
$ =\sum^{25}_{r=0} \frac{50!}{r!\left(50-r\right)!} \times\frac{\left(50-r\right)!}{\left(25\right)!\left(25-r\right)!} $
$ =\sum^{25}_{r=0} \frac{50!}{25!25!} \times\frac{25!}{\left(25-r\right)!\left(r!\right)} $
$ = {^{50}C_{25}} \sum^{25}_{r=0} {^{25}C_{r}} =\left(2^{25}\right)^{50}C_{25} $
$ \therefore K = 2^{25} $

Binomial Theorem

The binomial theorem formula is used in the expansion of any power of a binomial in the form of a series. The binomial theorem formula is 

Properties of Binomial Theorem

  • The number of coefficients in the binomial expansion of (x + y)n is equal to (n + 1).
  • There are (n+1) terms in the expansion of (x+y)n.
  • The first and the last terms are xn and yn respectively.
  • From the beginning of the expansion, the powers of x, decrease from n up to 0, and the powers of a, increase from 0 up to n.
  • The binomial coefficients in the expansion are arranged in an array, which is called Pascal's triangle. This pattern developed is summed up by the binomial theorem formula.
