If

{\;^n}{C_r}

denotes the number of combinations of

n

things takes

r

at a time, then the expression

{\;^n}{C_{r + 1}} + {\;^n}{C_{r - 1}} + 2 \times {\;^n}{C_r}

, equals

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

{\;^{n + 2}}{C_{r + 1}}

Option B (

{\;^{n + 2}}{C_{r + 1}}

) is correct because the expression simplifies to this using the combination identity

{\;^n}{C_r} + {\;^n}{C_{r + 1}} = {\;^{n + 1}}{C_{r + 1}}
