JEE Advance - Mathematics (1979 - No. 16)
Given that $${C_1} + 2{C_2}x + 3{C_3}{x^2} + ......... + 2n{C_{2n}}{x^{2n - 1}} = 2n{\left( {1 + x} \right)^{2n - 1}}$$
where $${C_r} = {{\left( {2n} \right)\,!} \over {r!\left( {2n - r} \right)!}}\,\,\,\,\,r = 0,1,2,\,............,2n$$
Prove that $${C_1}^2 - 2{C_2}^2 + 3{C_3}^2 - ............ - 2n{C_{2n}}^2 = {\left( { - 1} \right)^n}n{C_n}.$$
where $${C_r} = {{\left( {2n} \right)\,!} \over {r!\left( {2n - r} \right)!}}\,\,\,\,\,r = 0,1,2,\,............,2n$$
Prove that $${C_1}^2 - 2{C_2}^2 + 3{C_3}^2 - ............ - 2n{C_{2n}}^2 = {\left( { - 1} \right)^n}n{C_n}.$$
This problem involves complex algebraic manipulations and combinatorial identities.
The given equation relates a polynomial series to a binomial expansion.
The coefficients C_r represent binomial coefficients.
Proving the final expression requires careful application of combinatorial arguments and potentially induction.
There is no solution.
