Solution

The correct option is C $\frac{1}{2} n a_{n}$
Let $b = \sum_{r = 0}^{n} \frac{r}{^{n} C_{r}} = \sum_{r = 0}^{n} \frac{n - (n - r)}{^{n} C_{r}}$
$= n \sum_{r = 0}^{n} \frac{1}{^{n} C_{r}} - \sum_{r = 0}^{n} \frac{n - r}{^{n} C_{r}} = n a_{n} - \sum_{r = 0}^{n} \frac{n - r}{^{n} C_{n - r}} [∵^{n} C_{r} =^{n} C_{n - r}] = n a_{n} - b \Rightarrow 2 b = n a_{n} \Rightarrow b = \frac{n}{2} a_{n}$
