Relation between Coefficient and Indices of x and y

If C0, C1,...

Question

If $C_{0}, C_{1}, C_{2}, . . . . . . C_{15}$ are the binomial coefficients in the expansion of $(1 + x)^{15}$ , prove that
$\frac{C_{1}}{C_{0}} + 2 \frac{C_{2}}{C_{1}} + 3 \frac{C_{3}}{C_{2}} + . . . . . . . . . . . + 15 \frac{C_{15}}{C_{14}} = 120$

Solution

Putting n = 15 in part (a),we get

$L . H . S . = \frac{15.16}{2} = 120 = R . H . S$
