If the sum of the coefficients in the expansion of (x+y)nis 2048, then the greatest coefficient in the expansion is :

a
10C6
b
11C6
c
11C7
d
12C6

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Sum of the coefficients in the expansion of (x+y)nis 2n. Therefore, 2n=2048=211⇒n=11As n is odd, the greatest value of  nCr is nCk wherek=12(n−1) or k=12(n+1)Here n=11, therefore k=5 or 6Thus, greatest coefficient is  11C6.
