Step-by-step explanation

$\begin{aligned} & (1+x)^{11}={ }^{11} C_0+{ }^{11} C_1 x+{ }^{11} C_2 x^2+\cdots+{ }^{11} C_{11} x^{11} \\ & \int_0^1(1+x)^{11} d x=\int_0^1\left({ }^{11} C_0+{ }^{11} C_1 x+{ }^{11} C_2 x^2+\cdots+{ }^{11} C_{11} x x^{11}\right) d x \\ & \left.\left.\frac{(1-x)^{12}}{12}\right|_0 ^1={ }^{11} C_{0 x}+\frac{{ }^{11} C_1 x^2}{2}+\frac{{ }^{11} C_2 x}{3}+\cdots+\frac{{ }^{11} C_{11} x^{12}}{12}\right]_0^1 \\ & \frac{2^{12}-1}{12}=C_0+\frac{C_1}{2}+\frac{C_2}{3}+\cdots+\frac{C_{11}}{12} \ldots(1) \end{aligned}$ Now, $\begin{aligned} & \int_{-1}^0(1+x)^{11} d x=\int_{-1}^0\left({ }^{11} C_0+{ }^{11} C_1 x+{ }^{11} C_2 x^2+\cdots+{ }^{11} C_{11} x^{11}\right) d x \\ & \left.\left.\frac{(1+x)^{12}}{12}\right]_{-1}^0={ }^{11} C_0 x+\frac{{ }^{11} C_1 x^2}{2}+\frac{{ }^{11} C_2 x^3}{3}+\cdots+\frac{{ }^{11} C_{11} x^{12}}{12}\right]_{-1}^0 \end{aligned}$ $\begin{aligned} & (1)-(2) \\ & =\frac{2^{12}-2}{12}=2\left[\frac{C_1}{2}+\frac{C_3}{4}+\cdots\right] \\ & \Rightarrow \sum_{r=0}^5 \frac{C_{2 r+1}}{2 r+2}=\frac{2^{11}-1}{12}=\frac{2047}{12}=\frac{m}{n} \\ & =2047-12=2035 \end{aligned}$
