The interval in which x (> 0) must lie so that the greatest term in the expansion of (1 + x)2n n has the greatest coefficient is
The greatest coefficient in the expansion of
(1+x)2n is 2nCn We are given 2nCnxn is the greatest term
∴ 2nCn−1xn−1<2nCnxn
2nCn+1xn+1<2nCnxn⇒ 2nCn−1 2nCn<x< 2nCn 2nCn+1⇒nn+1<x<n+1n.
