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

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

detailed solution

Correct option is B

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