The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

To find $^{30}C_{0} ^{30}C_{10} - ^{30}C_{1}^{30 }C_{11} +^{ 30} C_{2}^{30}C_{12} - ....+ ^{30}C_{20} ^{30}C_{30}$ We know that $\left(1 + x\right)^{30} = ^{30}C_{0} + ^{30}C_{1}x + ^{30}C_{2}x^{2}$ $+ .... + ^{30}C_{20}x^{20} + ....^{30}C_{30}x^{30} \quad....\left(1\right)$ $\left(x - 1\right)^{30 }= ^{30}C_{0}x^{30} - ^{30}C_{1}x^{29 }+....+ ^{30}C_{10}x^{20}$ $- ^{30}C_{11}x^{19} + ^{30}C_{12}x^{18} +.... ^{30}C_{30}x^{0} \quad....\left(2\right)$ Multiplying $eq^{n} \left(1\right)$ and $\left(2\right)$ and equating the coefficients of $x^{20}$ on both sides, we get $^{30}C_{10} = ^{30}C_{0}^{30}C_{10 }-^{ 30} C_{1} ^{ 30}C_{11} + ^{30}C_{2} ^{30}C_{12}- ....+ ^{30}C_{20} ^{30}C_{30}$ $\therefore\quad$ Re value is $^{30}C_{10}$

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).
