proof by induction that $sum_{k = n}^{m} binom{k}{n} = binom{m + 1}{n + 1}$

I am unable to solve following proof by induction.



$$\sum_{k = n}^{m} \binom{k}{n} = \binom{m + 1}{n + 1}$$



Can you please help me ?




a) show that it is true for $n=m$



b) show that it is true for $(m+1,n)$



c) give proof why it works for all other values of $m,n$



Thanks. enter image description here
