The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the expression for \( m \): \[ m = \frac{C_1}{C_0} + \frac{2C_3}{C_2} + \frac{3C_3}{C_2} + \ldots + \frac{C_{15}}{C_{14}} \] Where \( C_r = \binom{15}{r} \). ### Step 1: Rewrite the terms We can rewrite each term in the sum using the binomial coefficient notation: \[ m = \sum_{r=1}^{15} \frac{rC_r}{C_{r-1}} \] ### Step 2: Simplify the ratio of binomial coefficients Using the property of binomial coefficients, we know that: \[ C_r = \binom{15}{r} = \frac{15!}{r!(15-r)!} \] \[ C_{r-1} = \binom{15}{r-1} = \frac{15!}{(r-1)!(15-(r-1))!} = \frac{15!}{(r-1)!(16-r)!} \] Now, we can express \( \frac{C_r}{C_{r-1}} \): \[ \frac{C_r}{C_{r-1}} = \frac{\frac{15!}{r!(15-r)!}}{\frac{15!}{(r-1)!(16-r)!}} = \frac{(16-r)}{r} \] ### Step 3: Substitute back into the sum Now substituting back into our expression for \( m \): \[ m = \sum_{r=1}^{15} r \cdot \frac{(16-r)}{r} = \sum_{r=1}^{15} (16 - r) \] ### Step 4: Evaluate the sum The sum \( \sum_{r=1}^{15} (16 - r) \) can be simplified: \[ m = \sum_{r=1}^{15} 16 - \sum_{r=1}^{15} r \] The first part is simply \( 16 \times 15 \) (since there are 15 terms): \[ \sum_{r=1}^{15} 16 = 16 \times 15 = 240 \] The second part is the sum of the first 15 natural numbers: \[ \sum_{r=1}^{15} r = \frac{15 \times (15 + 1)}{2} = \frac{15 \times 16}{2} = 120 \] ### Step 5: Combine the results Now, substituting back into the equation for \( m \): \[ m = 240 - 120 = 120 \] Thus, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{120} \]
