Solution

The correct option is A

We know $^{n} C_{3} =^{n} C_{n} - 3,^{n} C_{4} =^{n} C_{n} - 4 . . . . .$
$\Rightarrow s u m =^{n} C_{0}^{n} C_{n - 3} +^{n} C_{1}^{n} C_{n - 4} . . . .^{n} C_{n - 3}^{n} C_{0}$
The sum of the subscripts is same in each term = n - 3
Consider the expansion of $(1 + x)^{n} (1 + x)^{n}$ and find the coefficient of $x^{n - 3}$ .
$(1 + x)^{n} (1 + x)^{n} = (^{n} C_{0} +^{n} C_{1} x +^{n} C_{2} x^{2} . . . . .^{n} C_{n} x^{n}) (^{n} C_{0} +^{n} C_{1} x +^{n} C_{2} x_{2} . . . . .^{n} C_{n} x^{n})$
Coefficient of $x^{n - 3} =^{n} C_{0} \times^{n} C n - 3 +^{n} C_{1}^{n} C_{n - 4} . . . . .^{n} C_{n - 3}^{n} C_{0}$
This is same as the required. But we can calculate the coefficient of $x^{n - 3}$ easily.
Sum = coefficient of $x^{n - 3} i n (1 + x)^{n} (1 + x)^{n}$
= coefficient of $x^{n - 3} i n (1 + x)^{2 n}$
= $^{2 n} C_{n - 3}$
