The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of the expression \( C_0 C_2 + C_1 C_3 + C_2 C_4 + \ldots + C_{n-2} C_n \), where \( C_k = \binom{n}{k} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Binomial Expansion**: The binomial expansion of \( (1+x)^n \) is given by: \[ (1+x)^n = C_0 + C_1 x + C_2 x^2 + \ldots + C_n x^n \] where \( C_k = \binom{n}{k} \). 2. **Setting Up the Problem**: We want to compute the sum \( C_0 C_2 + C_1 C_3 + C_2 C_4 + \ldots + C_{n-2} C_n \). This can be interpreted as the sum of products of coefficients from the binomial expansion. 3. **Using the Binomial Theorem**: We can express the sum using the identity: \[ (1+x)^n \cdot (1+x)^n = (1+x)^{2n} \] This gives us: \[ (1+x)^n \cdot (1+x)^n = \sum_{k=0}^{2n} C_k' x^k \] where \( C_k' \) are the new coefficients in the expansion of \( (1+x)^{2n} \). 4. **Identifying the Coefficient**: The coefficient of \( x^{n-2} \) in \( (1+x)^{2n} \) can be found using the binomial coefficient: \[ C_{n-2} = \binom{2n}{n-2} \] 5. **Relating the Coefficients**: The coefficient \( C_{n-2} \) can also be expressed as: \[ C_{n-2} = C_0 C_2 + C_1 C_3 + C_2 C_4 + \ldots + C_{n-2} C_n \] This is because the products \( C_r C_{n-r} \) correspond to the combinations of choosing pairs of coefficients from the two expansions. 6. **Final Calculation**: Thus, we find that: \[ C_0 C_2 + C_1 C_3 + C_2 C_4 + \ldots + C_{n-2} C_n = \binom{2n}{n-2} \] ### Conclusion: The final answer is: \[ \boxed{\binom{2n}{n-2}} \]
