if we expand (1+x)n , then nC2 represents the coefficient of x2
also nCr can be written as nCn-r .
so (100C98)+(99C97)+.........+(3C1)+(2C0) = (100C2)+(99C2)+..............+(3C2)+(2C2)
so this expression will be equal to coeficient of x2 in (1+x)100 +(1+x)99+..............+(1+x)3+(1+x)2
sum of this series is (1+x)2( (1+x)99-1) / ( (1+x)-1 ) = (1/x) (1+x)2( (1+x)99-1 ) = (1/x) ( (1+x)101- (1+x)2 )
so we have to find coefficient of x3 in ( (1+x)101- (1+x)2 ) . since cofficient of x3 is zero in (1+x)2
so cofficient of x2 in this expression is 101C3
