If $${}^n{C_r}$$ denotes the number of combination of n things taken r at a time, then the expression $$\,{}^n{C_{r + 1}} + {}^n{C_{r - 1}} + 2\, \times \,{}^n{C_r}$$ equals

A square of side a lies above the $$x$$-axis and has one vertex at the origin. The side passing through the origin makes an angle $$\alpha \left( {0 < \alpha < {\pi \over 4}} \right)$$ with the positive direction of x-axis. The equation of its diagonal not passing through the origin is :
