Answer»

If (1+x)n=C0+C1x+C2x2+.......Cnxn ....(i)
then sum of series C0+Ck+C2k+....can be obtained by putting all roots of equation xk1=0 in (i) & then adding vertically:
for example: sum of C0+C2+C4.....can be obtained by putting all roots of equation x2=1
i.e. x=±1 in (i)
At x=1 C0+C1+C2..........Cn=2n
x=1 C0C1+C2C3...........=0
Adding we get C0+C2+C4.....=2n1

Now answer the folloiwng

If n is a multiple of 3, then C0+C3+C6+................ equals
