Questions  

If for positive integers r>1,n>2, the coefficient of the (3r)th and (r + 2)th powers of X in the expansion of (1 + x)2n are equal, then

a
n=2r
b
n=3r
c
n=2r+1
d
None of these

detailed solution

Correct option is C

In the expansion of (1+x)2n , the general termAs given for=2nCkxk,0≤k≤2n r>1,n>2,2nC3r=2nCr+2⇒ Either 3r=r+2 or 3r=2n−(r+2)∵nCr=nCn−rr=1 or n=2r+1We take the relation onIyn=2r+1 [∵r>1]
