If No. of indistinguishable objects = 0,#ways to select n objects = 2n+1Cn
If No. of indistinguishable objects = 1,#ways to select rest of the objects = 2n+1Cn-1
If No. of indistinguishable objects = 2,#ways to select rest of the objects = 2n+1Cn-2
Hence the # ways is = 2n+1Cn+ 2n+1Cn-1+ 2n+1Cn-2.....2n+1C0
Since this no. is equal to 2n+1Cn+ 2n+1Cn+1+ 2n+1Cn+2.....2n+1C2n+1
Therefore answer is = 2n+1C0+ 2n+1C1+ 2n+1C2.....2n+1C2n+12 = 2n+1/2 = 2n
Shaswata Roy It should be 2^2n
