Solution

The correct option is D (3n22)2nCn
(1+x)n=nC0+nC1x+nC2x2+...+nCnxn
(1+1x)n=nC0+nC1x+nC2x2+...+nCnxn
(1+x)n(1+1x)n=(nC0+nC1x+nC2x2+...+nCnxn)(nC0+nC1x+nC2x2+...+nCnxn)
In RHS nC02+nC12+...+nCn2 comes as constant term.
So, nC02+nC12+...+nCn2 is constant term in (1+x)(1+1x)n
=(1+x)2nxn
The constant term in (1+x)2nxn is 2nCn as xnxn gets cancelled.
So, nC02+nC12+...+nCn2=2nCn
(1+x)n=nC0+nC1x+nC2x2+...+nCnxn
by differentiating
n(1+x)n1=0.nC0+1.nC1+2.nC2x+...+n.nCnxn1
(1+1x)n=nC0+nC1x+nC2x2+...+nCnxn
By multiplying
n(1+x)n1×(1+1x)n=(.nC0+1.nC1+2.nC2x+...+nnCnxn1)×(nC0+nC1x+nC2x2+...+nCnxn)
So, 0.nC02+1.nC12+2.nC22+...+n.nCn2 is coefficient of 1n in RHS
So, it is 1n term in n(1+x)n1×(1+x)nxn
i.e. n.2n1Cn1=n2.2nCn
So, (3n1)Cn2=3nCn2Cn2
=3n2.2nCn2nCn=3n22×2nCn
