Interesting Problem!!!!!! 

 

 Let S=15C0+3(15C1)+5(15C2)+7(15C3)+...+31(15C15)

Then,  S=(15C15)+3(15C14)+...+31(15C0)     (Using the property that: nCk=nC(nk) ).

Adding the expressions above, to get:

2S=(15C0)(31+1)+(15C1)(3+29)+...+(15C15)(31+1)

Hence, 2S=32(15C0+15C1+15C2+...+15C15)=32215=25215=220

Therefore, S=219
