$${v}=\frac{\:^{{n}} {C}_{{r}−\mathrm{1}} }{\:^{{n}} {C}_{{r}} +\:^{{n}} {C}_{{r}−\mathrm{1}} }+\frac{\:^{{n}} {C}_{{r}+\mathrm{1}} }{\:^{{n}} {C}_{{r}+\mathrm{1}} +\:^{{n}} {C}_{{r}+\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$$\&\:\:\:^{{n}} {C}_{{r}} +\:^{{n}} {C}_{{r}−\mathrm{1}} =\:^{{n}+\mathrm{1}} {C}_{{r}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow \\ $$$${v}=\underset{{r}={r}} {\overset{{r}+\mathrm{1}} {\sum}}\frac{{n}!{r}!\left({n}−{r}+\mathrm{1}\right)!}{\left({r}−\mathrm{1}\right)!\left({n}−{r}+\mathrm{1}\right)!\left({n}+\mathrm{1}\right)!} \\ $$$$\:\:\:=\frac{{r}}{{n}+\mathrm{1}}+\frac{{r}+\mathrm{1}}{{n}+\mathrm{1}}=\frac{\mathrm{2}{r}+\mathrm{1}}{{n}+\mathrm{1}}\:. \\ $$ | ||
