Question

If $$x + y = 1,$$   then $$\sum\limits_{r = 0}^n {r{\,^n}{C_r}\,{x^r}{y^{n - r}}} $$    equals

A. $$1$$
B. $$n$$
C. $$nx$$  
D. $$ny$$
Answer :   $$nx$$
Solution :
We have,
$$\eqalign{ & \sum\limits_{r = 0}^n {r{\,^n}{C_r}\,{x^r}{y^{n - r}}} = \sum\limits_{r = 0}^n {r\frac{n}{r}{\,^{n - 1}}{C_{r - 1}}} {x^{r - 1}}{x^1}{y^{n - r}} \cr & = nx\sum\limits_{r = 0}^n {^{n - 1}{C_{r - 1}}{x^{r - 1}}{y^{\left( {n - 1} \right) - \left( {r - 1} \right)}}} \cr & = nx{\left( {x + y} \right)^{n - 1}} = nx\left[ {\because x + y = 1} \right] \cr} $$
