$$\sum\limits_{k = 0}^{20} {{{\left( {{}^{20}{C_k}} \right)}^2}} $$ is equal to :

If $${{}^{20}{C_r}}$$ is the co-efficient of x^r in the expansion of (1 + x)²⁰, then the value of $$\sum\limits_{r = 0}^{20} {{r^2}.{}^{20}{C_r}} $$ is equal to :

A possible value of 'x', for which the ninth term in the expansion of $${\left\{ {{3^{{{\log }_3}\sqrt {{{25}^{x - 1}} + 7} }} + {3^{\left( { - {1 \over 8}} \right){{\log }_3}({5^{x - 1}} + 1)}}} \right\}^{10}}$$ in the increasing powers of $${3^{\left( { - {1 \over 8}} \right){{\log }_3}({5^{x - 1}} + 1)}}$$ is equal to 180, is :
