The correct answer is:
$\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{n}$
$\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{n}$
$t=\sum_{r=0}^n \frac{r}{{ }^n C_r}=\sum_{r=0}^n \frac{n-r}{{ }^n C_{n-r}}=\sum_{r=0}^n \frac{n-r}{{ }^n C_r}\left(\because{ }^n C_r={ }^n C_{n-r}\right)$
$2 t_n=\sum_{r=0}^n \frac{r+n-r}{{ }^n C_r}=\sum_{r=0}^n \frac{n}{{ }^n C_r} \Rightarrow t_n=\frac{n}{2} \sum_{r=0}^n \frac{1}{{ }^n C_r}=\frac{n}{2} S_n \Rightarrow \frac{t_n}{S_n}=\frac{n}{2}$
$2 t_n=\sum_{r=0}^n \frac{r+n-r}{{ }^n C_r}=\sum_{r=0}^n \frac{n}{{ }^n C_r} \Rightarrow t_n=\frac{n}{2} \sum_{r=0}^n \frac{1}{{ }^n C_r}=\frac{n}{2} S_n \Rightarrow \frac{t_n}{S_n}=\frac{n}{2}$
