JEE Advance - Mathematics (1984 - No. 22)
Given $${s_n} = 1 + q + {q^2} + ...... + {q^2};$$
$${S_n} = 1 + {{q + 1} \over 2} + {\left( {{{q + 1} \over 2}} \right)^2} + ........ + {\left( {{{q + 1} \over 2}} \right)^n}\,\,\,,q \ne 1$$
Prove that $${}^{n + 1}{C_1} + {}^{n + 1}{C_2}{s_1} + {}^{n + 1}{C_3}{s_2} + ..... + {}^{n + 1}{C_n}{s_n} = {2^n}{S_n}$$
$${S_n} = 1 + {{q + 1} \over 2} + {\left( {{{q + 1} \over 2}} \right)^2} + ........ + {\left( {{{q + 1} \over 2}} \right)^n}\,\,\,,q \ne 1$$
Prove that $${}^{n + 1}{C_1} + {}^{n + 1}{C_2}{s_1} + {}^{n + 1}{C_3}{s_2} + ..... + {}^{n + 1}{C_n}{s_n} = {2^n}{S_n}$$
The question is not a multiple-choice question but a proof. Therefore, providing options and a correct answer index is not applicable.
Proof-based questions do not fit the single/multiple choice format.
This question requires a detailed proof rather than selecting from options.
It is impossible to provide meaningful options and an answer index for this type of mathematical proof question.
The question asks for proof, which can't be adapted into the multiple choice format.
