Solution

We know that
(1+x)n=nC0+nC1x+nC2x2+nC3x3.....+nCn.xn
(1x)n=nC0nC1x+nC2x2nC3x3.....+(1)n nCnxn

(1+x)n(1x)n=2[nC1.x+nC3.x3.....+nCn1.xn1]
Substitute x=1 in both equations, we get
2n=2(nC1+nC3+.......+nCn1) ...... (i)
Consider 1n![n!1!(n1)!+n!3!(n3)!+n!5!(n5)!+....+n!(n1)!1!]
=1n![nC1+nC3+nC5+.....+nCn1]
=1n![2n1]
