Question

If (1+x)n=r=0nCrxr,(1 + x)^n = \sum_{r=0}^{n} C_r x^r,​ then (1+C1C0)(1+C2C1)(1+C3C2)(1+CnCn1)\left(1 + \frac{C_1}{C_0}\right)\left(1 + \frac{C_2}{C_1}\right)\left(1 + \frac{C_3}{C_2}\right)\cdots\left(1 + \frac{C_n}{C_{n-1}}\right) is equal to:

A.

(n+1)n1(n1)!\frac{(n+1)^{n-1}}{(n-1)!} \\[6pt]​​

B.

(n+1)nn!\frac{(n+1)^n}{n!} \\[6pt]​​

C.

(n+1)n+1n!\frac{(n+1)^{n+1}}{n!} \\[6pt]​​

D.

nn1(n1)!\frac{n^{n-1}}{(n-1)!}​​

Correct option is B

Given:
(1+x)n=r=0nCrxr(1 + x)^n = \sum_{r=0}^{n} C_r x^r \\​​
We are to evaluate:
(1+C1C0)(1+C2C1)(1+C3C2)(1+CnCn1)\left(1 + \frac{C_1}{C_0}\right)\left(1 + \frac{C_2}{C_1}\right)\left(1 + \frac{C_3}{C_2}\right) \cdots \left(1 + \frac{C_n}{C_{n-1}}\right) \\[10pt]​​
Concept used:
1+CrCr1=Cr1+CrCr1=(n+1r)(nr1)1 + \frac{C_r}{C_{r-1}} = \frac{C_{r-1} + C_r}{C_{r-1}} = \frac{\binom{n+1}{r}}{\binom{n}{r-1}} \quad​ (by Pascal's identity)
So full product becomes:
r=1n(1+CrCr1)=r=1n(n+1r)(nr1)\prod_{r=1}^{n} \left(1 + \frac{C_r}{C_{r-1}}\right) = \prod_{r=1}^{n} \frac{\binom{n+1}{r}}{\binom{n}{r-1}} \\​​

This simplifies to: (n+1)nn! \quad \frac{(n+1)^n}{n!} \\​​

Correct answer is: (n+1)nn!{\frac{(n+1)^{n}}{n!}}​​
