Solution
The correct options are A12+22+...+n2 C2(n+2C3)−n+1C2 D16n(n+1)(2n+1) When z=n+1 we can choose x,y from {1,2,…,n} ∴ when z=n+1,x,y can be chosen in n2 ways and z=n,y can be chosen in (n−1)2 ways and so on ∴n2+(n−1)2+⋯+12=16n(n+1)(2n+1) ways of choosing triplets Alternatively triplets with x=y<z,x<y<z,y<x<z can be chosen in n+1C2,n+1C3,n+1C3 ways. There are n+1C2+2(n+1C3)=n+2C2+n+1C3=2(n+2C3)−n+1C2.
