The correct answer is: $\frac{3^{n+1}}{2^{n+1}(n+1)}$
$\frac{C_0}{2}+\frac{C_1}{2.2^2}+\frac{C_2}{3.2^3}+\ldots+\frac{C_n}{(n+1) 2^{n+1}}$
$\begin{aligned} & =\sum_{r=0}^n \frac{{ }^n C_r}{r+1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{r+1} \\ & =\frac{1}{n+1} \sum_{r=0}^n \frac{n+1}{r+1}{ }^n \mathrm{C}_r\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{r+1}=\frac{1}{n+1} \sum_{r=0}^n{ }^{n+1} \mathrm{C}_{r+1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{r+1} \\ & \frac{1}{n+1}\left(1+\frac{1}{2}\right)^{n+1}=\frac{3^{n+1}}{(\mathrm{n}+1) 2^{\mathrm{n}+1}}\end{aligned}$
