Detailed Solution

We have,  2nCr 2nCr1=2nr+1r            (1)

For  2nCr to be greatest 2nr+1r1

 2nr+1r2r2n+1

rn+12                                           (2)

From (1),  2nCr+1 2nCr=2n(r+1)+1r+1=2nrr+1.

For  2nCr to be greatest 2nrr+11

 2nrr+12r2n1

rn12                                          (3)

From (2) and (3), we get n12rn+12

⇒ r = n (since r is a positive integer)

Hence,  2nCr is greatest when r = n.
