Solution

The correct option is D $20$
Let $S =^{20} C_{r}^{20} C_{0} +^{20} C_{r - 1}^{20} C_{1} +^{20} C_{r - 2}^{20} C_{2} + \dots +^{20} C_{0}^{20} C_{r}$
The sum $S$ is the coefficient of $x^{r}$ in the expansion of $(1 + x)^{20} (x + 1)^{20} = (1 + x)^{40}$
$∴ S =^{40} C_{r}$
$S$ is maximum when $r = 20$
