Solution

The correct option is B $2$
Let $S = 3 C_{1} - 4 C_{2} + 5 C_{3} - 7 C_{5} + \cdot \cdot \cdot$ upto $n$ terms
$= n \sum r = 1 (- 1)^{r - 1} (r + 2) C_{r}$
$= n \sum r = 1 (- 1)^{r - 1} \cdot r \cdot^{n} C_{r} + 2 n \sum r = 1 (- 1)^{r - 1} \cdot^{n} C_{r}$
$= n \sum r = 1 (- 1)^{r - 1} \cdot n \cdot^{n - 1} C_{r - 1} - 2 n \sum r = 1 (- 1)^{r} \cdot^{n} C_{r}$
$= n .0 - 2 n \sum r = 0^{n} C_{r} (- 1)^{r} + 2^{n} C_{0} (∵ n \sum r = 0^{n} C_{r} (a)^{r} = {(1 + a)}^{n})$
$= 2$
