Solution

The correct option is A m+nCr
The given series
=mCr.nC0+mCr1.nC1+...+mC0.nCr,
Now, (1+x)m=mC0+mC1.x+mC2.x2+...+mCr.xr+...+mCmxn,
and, (1+n)n=nC0+nC1x+nC2x2+...+nCrxr+...+nCnxn
The given series is the coefficient of xr in the product of R.H.S. of above two.
Sum of the series =coefficient of xr in (1+x)m.(1+x)n
=coefficient of xr in (1+x)m+n
=m+nCr.
