​13. Ans: Let S = ∑r=0m n+rCn
S = nCn + n+1C+ ….. + n+mCn
Coefficient of xn in (1+x)n is nC, that of xn in (1+x)n+1 is n+1Cand so on.
\therefore S = coefficient of xn in (1+x)n + (1+x)n+1 + ….. + (1+x)n+m.
Now, (1+x)n + (1+x)n+1 + ….. + (1+x)n+m is a G.P. whose first term is (1+x)n
common ratio is (1+x) and number of terms is m+1.
So (1+x)n + (1+x)n+1 + ….. + (1+x)n+m = (1+x)n[(1+x)m+1 – 1] / [(1+x) – 1]
                                                              = [(1+x)n+m+1 – (1+x)n] / x
We have to find coefficient of xn in [(1+x)n+m+1 – (1+x)n] / x i.e.
coefficient of xn+1 in [(1+x)n+m+1 – (1+x)n].
General term of (1+x)n+m+1 is Tr+1 = n+m+1Cr xr.
Putting r=n+1, we get Tn+2 = n+m+1Cn+1 xn+1
\because there is no term of xn+1 in (1+x)n,
coefficient of xn+1 in [(1+x)n+m+1 – (1+x)n] is n+m+1Cn+1 .
\therefore S = ∑r=0m n+rCn = n+m+1Cn+1 .
