Question

r and n are positive integers r > 1, n > 2 and coefficient of (r + 2)th term and 3rth term in the expansion of (1+x)2n are equal, then n equal

Options

A.3r
B.3r + 1
C.2r
D.2r + 1

Solution

tr+2 = 2nCr+1 xr+1 ; t3r = 2nC3r-1 x3r-1
Given 2nCr+1 = 2nC3r+1 = 2nC3r-12nC2n-(r + 1) = 2nC3r-1 ⇒ 2n - r - 1 = 3r - 1 ⇒ 2n = 4r
