JEE Main 2022 · 26 Jun · Shift 2, Mathematics question 26

If (40C0)+(41C1)+(42C2)+⋯+(60C20)=mn 60C20\left({}^{40}C_0\right)+\left({}^{41}C_1\right)+\left({}^{42}C_2\right)+\dots+\left({}^{60}C_{20}\right)=\dfrac mn\,{}^{60}C_{20}, mm and nn are coprime, then m+nm+n is equal to ______.

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 102

Hockey stick. ∑k=02040+kCk=61C20\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^{20}{}^{40+k}C_k={}^{61}C_{20}.

Ratio. 61C20=6141 60C20{}^{61}C_{20}=\dfrac{61}{41}\,{}^{60}C_{20}, so m+n=61+41=102m+n=61+41=102.

Answer: 102
