Prove that nCr+n1Cr+n2Cr+.....+rCr=n+1Cr+1.

Solution
Verified by Toppr

To prove:
nCr+n1Cr+n2Cr+......+rCr=n+1Cr+1
nCr+n1Cr+n2Cr+.....+r+1Cr+rCr=n+1Cr+1
[nCn=n+1Cn+1]
nCr+n1Cr+n2Cr+......+r+2Cr+(r+1Cr+r+1Cr+1)
r+2Cr+1
[We know that n+1Cr+1=nCr+1+nCr]
nCr+n1Cr+n2Cr+......+r+2Cr+r+2Cr+1=n+1Cr+1
nCr+n1Cr+n2Cr+......+r+3Cr+1=n+1Cr+1
By continuing this, we get
nCr+(n1Cr+n1Cr+1)=n+1Cr+1
nCr+nCr+1=n+1Cr+1
n+1Cr+1=n+1Cr+1
L.H.S=R.H.S
[Hence proved].
