When calculating ∑ j k ( j n ) , it is useful to note that j ( j n ) = n ( j − 1 n − 1 ) . In this way, we can iteratively reduce the exponent k , till we're just dealing with ∑ ( j n ) .
Why did you took j-1 over summation ?

I think this question is pretty easy and over-rated. Let's see how to do it!
Take ∑ ∑ 0 ≤ i < j ≤ n i ( j n )
Now, for a particular value of j , i = 0 ∑ j − 1 i ( j n ) = ( j n ) 0 ∑ j − 1 i = 2 j ( j − 1 ) ( j n )
So, ∑ ∑ 0 ≤ i < j ≤ n i ( j n ) = j = 1 ∑ n 2 j ( j − 1 ) ( j n ) = 2 n ( n − 1 ) j = 1 ∑ n ( j − 2 n − 2 ) = 2 n ( n − 1 ) j = 0 ∑ n − 2 ( j n − 2 ) = 2 n ( n − 1 ) 2 n − 2
∴ 2 1 2 ( 1 2 − 1 ) 2 1 0 = 6 7 5 8 4
