Solution

The correct options are
A 1S2 is an integer
B nS=1
D 1S is an integer
We can write S as
S=a1+12a2+13a3+.....+1nan
where
ar=(1)r1(CrCr1+.....+.(1)nrCn)=(1)n1(C0C1+.....+.(1)nrCnr)[useCr=Cnr]
But for k0
C0C1+C2.....+(1)kCk
= Coefficient of xk in
(C0C1x+C2x2.....+(1)nCnxn)(1+x+x2+....)
=Coefficient of xk in (1x)n(1x)1
= coefficient of xk in (1x)n1
=(1)k(n1Ck)
Thus, ar=(1)n1(1)nr(n1Cnr)
=(1)r1(n1Cnr)
Now
S=n1C012(n1C1)+13(n1C2).....+(1)n1n(n1Cn1)
=10(1x)n1dx=1n
