in question no 4 the answer is 217 as 1296-r shud be divisible by 2 and r shud be divisible by 3...
therefore r shud be divisible by 6....therefore 1296/6 terms...
this cums out to be 216 but we did not count for r to be 0....
so 217 terms....

1) should be 66*10!
3) use the fact that nCr = nCn-r to sum up the series

i think this can be done.
it will be C(2n,n).
try multiplying (1+x)n and (x+1)n
and compare the coefficients of the required terms...

2) better do it like this,
c02 + c12.....+cn2
= c0*cn + c1*cn-1 ....
= number of ways of selecting n objects out of 2n
= 2nCn
