Solution

The correct option is D $2^{20} - 2^{10}$
$(^{21} C_{1} -^{10} C_{1}) + (^{21} C_{2} -^{10} C_{2}) + (^{21} C_{3} -^{10} C_{3}) + . . . + (^{21} C_{10} -^{10} C_{10})$
$= (^{21} C_{1} +^{21} C_{2} + \dots +^{21} C_{10}) - (^{10} C_{1} +^{10} C_{2} + \dots +^{10} C_{10}) = (^{21} C_{1} +^{21} C_{2} + \dots +^{21} C_{10}) - (2^{10} - 1) = \frac{1}{2} (^{21} C_{1} +^{21} C_{2} + \dots^{21} C_{21} - 1) - (2^{10} - 1) = \frac{1}{2} (2^{21} - 2) - (2^{10} - 1) = 2^{20} - 1 - 2^{10} + 1 = 2^{20} - 2^{10}$
