Question

The sum of the series $$\sum\limits_{r = 1}^n {{{\left( { - 1} \right)}^{r - 1}} \cdot {\,^n}{C_r}} \left( {a - r} \right)$$     is equal to

A. $$n \cdot {2^{n - 1}} + a$$
B. $$0$$
C. $$a$$  
D. None of these
Answer :   $$a$$
Solution :
Sum $$ = a\sum\limits_{r = 1}^n {{{\left( { - 1} \right)}^{r - 1}} \cdot {\,^n}{C_r}} - \sum\limits_{r = 1}^n {{{\left( { - 1} \right)}^{r - 1}} \cdot r \cdot {\,^n}{C_r}} $$
$$\eqalign{ &\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = a\left\{ {^n{C_1} - {\,^n}{C_2} + {\,^n}{C_3} - .....} \right\} - n\left\{ {^{n - 1}{C_0} - {\,^{n - 1}}{C_1} + .....} \right\}\left( {{\text{because }}r \cdot {\,^n}{C_r} = n \cdot {\,^{n - 1}}{C_{r - 1}}} \right) \cr &\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = a \cdot {\,^n}{C_0}\,\,\left( {\because \,{\,^n}{C_0} - {\,^n}{C_1} + {\,^n}{C_2} - ..... = 0} \right). \cr} $$
