The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Since, $\left(1+x\right)^{n }= ^{n}C_{0}+^{n}C_{1}x+^{n}C_{2} x^{2} +...+^{n}C_{n} x^{n}$
Put x = 1 and n = 10, we get
$2^{10} = ^{10}C_{0}+^{10}C_{1}+^{10}C_{2}+...+^{10}C_{10}$
$2^{10} = 1+^{10}C_{1}+^{10}C_{2} +...+^{10}C_{9}+1$
$2^{10} - 2 = ^{10}C_{1}+^{10}C_{2} +...+^{10}C_{9}$

Combinations

The method of forming subsets by selecting data from a larger set in a way that the selection order does not matter is called the combination.

  • It means the combination of about ‘n’ things taken ‘k’ at a time without any repetition.
  • The combination is used for a group of data where the order of data does not matter.
  • For example, Imagine you go to a restaurant and order some soup.
  • Five toppings can complement the soup, namely:
    • croutons,
    • orange zest,
    • grated cheese,
    • chopped herbs,
    • fried noodles.

But you are only allowed to pick three.

  • There can be several ways in which you can enhance your soup with savory.
  • The selection of three toppings (subset) from the five toppings (larger set) is called a combination.

Use of Combinations:

It is used for a group of data (where the order of data doesn’t matter).
