Solution

The correct options are
A 12+22+...+n2
C 2(n+2C3)n+1C2
D 16n(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 (n1)2 ways and so on
n2+(n1)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.
