Detailed Solution
Given expansion (3+2x)74 lets the consecutive terms are (∴ Tr+1= nCr xn−r (a)r be the expansion of (x+a)n) Here Tr+1= 74Cr 374−r (2x)r And Tr= 74Cr−1 375−r (2x)r−1 The coefficients of these two terms are equal according to given problemIf 74Cr 374−r 2r= 74Cr−1 375−r 2r−1 ⇒ 74Cr74Cr−1=375−r 2r−1374−r 2r⇒74Cr74Cr−1=32(∴ nCrnCr−1=n−r+1r)⇒75−rr=32∴r=30 So, T31 and T30 have equal coefficients.
