Solution

The correct option is C n(n1)2n2
We have,
(1+x)n=C0+C1x+C2x2+...+Cnxn ...(1)
Differentiating equation (1) w.r.t. x,we get
n(1+x)2=C1+2C2x+3C3x2+...+nCnxn1 ...(2)
Differentiating equation (2) w.r.t. x, we get
n(n1)(1+x)n2=(1.2)C2+(2.3)C2x+...+n(n1)Cnxn2 ...(3)
Putting x=1 in equation (3), we have
(1.2)C2+(2.3)C3+...+(n1)nCn=n(n1)2n2.
