Question

For $$2 \leqslant r \leqslant n,$$   \[\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} n\\ r \end{array}} \right) + 2\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} n\\ {r - 1} \end{array}} \right) + \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} n\\ {r - 2} \end{array}} \right) = \]

A. \[\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {n + 1}\\ {r - 1} \end{array}} \right)\]
B. \[2\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {n + 1}\\ {r + 1} \end{array}} \right)\]
C. \[2\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {n + 2}\\ r \end{array}} \right)\]
D. \[\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {n + 2}\\ r \end{array}} \right)\]  
Answer :   \[\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {n + 2}\\ r \end{array}} \right)\]
Solution :
\[\begin{array}{l} \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} n\\ r \end{array}} \right) + 2\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} n\\ {r - 1} \end{array}} \right) + \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} n\\ {r - 2} \end{array}} \right)\\ = \left[ {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} n\\ r \end{array}} \right) + \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} n\\ {r - 1} \end{array}} \right)} \right] + \left[ {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} n\\ {r - 1} \end{array}} \right) + \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} n\\ {r - 2} \end{array}} \right)} \right] \end{array}\]
NOTE THIS STEP :
\[\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {n + 1}\\ r \end{array}} \right) + \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {n + 1}\\ {r - 1} \end{array}} \right) = \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {n + 2}\\ r \end{array}} \right)\]
$$\left[ {\because \,{\,^n}{C_r} + {\,^n}{C_{r - 1}} = {\,^{n + 1}}{C_r}} \right]$$
