It is proved that

$(\begin{matrix} n \\ n_{1}, n_{2}, . . . . . . . ., n_{r} \end{matrix}) = (\begin{matrix} n - 1 \\ n_{1} - 1, n_{2}, . . . . . . . ., n_{r} \end{matrix}) + (\begin{matrix} n - 1 \\ n_{1}, n_{2} - 1, . . . . . . . ., n_{r} \end{matrix}) + . . . . . . + (\begin{matrix} n - 1 \\ n_{1}, n_{2}, . . . . . . . ., n_{r} - 1 \end{matrix})$

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information.

We have to prove that $(\begin{matrix} n \\ n_{1}, n_{2}, . . . . . . . ., n_{r} \end{matrix}) = (\begin{matrix} n - 1 \\ n_{1} - 1, n_{2}, . . . . . . . ., n_{r} \end{matrix}) + (\begin{matrix} n - 1 \\ n_{1}, n_{2} - 1, . . . . . . . ., n_{r} \end{matrix}) + . . . . . . + (\begin{matrix} n - 1 \\ n_{1}, n_{2}, . . . . . . . ., n_{r} - 1 \end{matrix})$

Step 2. Prove that nn1, n2, ........ , nr=n-1n1-1, n2, ........ , nr+n-1n1, n2-1, ........ , nr+......+n-1n1, n2, ........ , nr-1

$(\begin{matrix} n \\ n_{1}, n_{2}, . . . . . . . ., n_{r} \end{matrix})$ represents the no. of possible divisions of $n$ distinct objects into $r$ distinct groups of respective sizes $n_{1}, n_{2}, . . . . . . . . ., n_{r}$ .

Now, let's concentrate on one object, suppose it is grouped in $n_{1}$ group, it can be done in $(\begin{matrix} n - 1 \\ n_{1} - 1, n_{2}, . . . . . . . ., n_{r} \end{matrix})$ ways.

If it is not grouped in $n_{1}$ group but it is grouped in $n_{2}$ group, it can be done in $(\begin{matrix} n - 1 \\ n_{1}, n_{2} - 1, . . . . . . . ., n_{r} \end{matrix})$ ways.

Similarly, if it is grouped in $n_{r}$ group, it can be done in $(\begin{matrix} n - 1 \\ n_{1}, n_{2}, . . . . . . . ., n_{r} - 1 \end{matrix})$ ways.

Hence, it is proved that $(\begin{matrix} n \\ n_{1}, n_{2}, . . . . . . . ., n_{r} \end{matrix}) = (\begin{matrix} n - 1 \\ n_{1} - 1, n_{2}, . . . . . . . ., n_{r} \end{matrix}) + (\begin{matrix} n - 1 \\ n_{1}, n_{2} - 1, . . . . . . . ., n_{r} \end{matrix}) + . . . . . . + (\begin{matrix} n - 1 \\ n_{1}, n_{2}, . . . . . . . ., n_{r} - 1 \end{matrix})$
