If we choose \mathrm{k(0 \leq k \leq n)} identical objects, then we must choose \mathrm{(n-k)} distinct objects. This can be done in \mathrm{{ }^{2 n+1} C_{n-k}} ways. Thus, the required number of ways

\mathrm{=\sum_{k=0}^{n}{ }^{2 n+1} C_{n-k}={ }^{2 n+1} C_{n}+{ }^{2 n+1} C_{n-1}+\ldots+{ }^{2 n+1} C_{0}=2^{2 n}}.
