Question 1

Using a combinatorial proof, verify the identity C(n, 2) + C(n, 1) = C(n+1, 2).

💡 Hint: Consider two scenarios to illustrate the counting.

Question 2

Prove via Pascal's Triangle properties that C(n+1, k) = C(n, k) + C(n, k-1) holds true recursively.

💡 Hint: Visualize how each layer adds to the next in Pascal's Triangle!
