How did you get that?
Show that C12 - 2C22 + 3C32............-2n.C2n2 = (-1)n-1.nCn
where Cr stands for 2nCr

(1-x)2n = C0 - C1x + C2 x2 .....
differentiate w.r.t x
2n(1-x)2n-1 = C1 - 2C2x + ...... "1"
again,
(1+x)2n =
C0 x2n + C1 x2n-1 ............... "2"
multiplying 1 and 2 we get the required series which in turn is the co efficient on x2n-1
in the expansion of 2n(1-x)2n-1 (1+x)2n

I tried but did not get how to find the coefficient of x2n-1 in that expansion. Can you help?

co eff of x2n-1 in 2n(1-x)2n-1(1+x)2n-1 (1+x )
= co eff of x2n-1 in 2n(1-x2)2n-1 (1+x )
= co eff of x2n-1 in 2n(1-x2)2n-1 + 2nx (1- x2)2n-1
= co eff of x2n-1 = 2nx(1- x2)2n-1
= co eff of x2n-2 in 2n(1-x2)2n-1
