Question

If the coefficients of the  (r + 2)th and   rth, (r + 1)th terms in the binomial expansion of (1 + y)m are in , then  A.P.m and r satisfy the equation 

Moderate
Solution

  Coefficient of the r th  term is  mCr1

According to the given condition nmCr1+mCr+1=2 mCr

     mCr1 mCr+ mCr+1 mCr=2rm+1r+mrr+1=2    r2+r+(mr)(m+1r)=2(m+1r)(r+1)    r2+r+m2+(12r)mr(1r)=    2m(r+1)+21r2     m2m(4r+1)+4r22=0.
