7.Binomial Theorem
easy

If coefficients of ${(2r + 1)^{th}}$ term and ${(r + 2)^{th}}$ term are equal in the expansion of ${(1 + x)^{43}},$ then the value of $r$ will be

A

$14$

B

$15$

C

$13$

D

$16$

Solution

(a) Coefficient of ${(2r + 1)^{th}}$ term in expansion of $(1 + x)^{43}$ = ${}^{43}{C_{2r}}$ and coefficient of ${(r + 2)^{th}}$ term = coefficient of ${\{ (r + 1) + 1\} ^{th}}$ term = ${}^{43}{C_{r + 1}}$

According to question ${}^{43}{C_{2r}} = {}^{43}{C_{r + 1}}$ 

$ = {}^{43}{C_{43 – (r + 1)}}$ then $2r = 43 – (r + 1)$or $3r = 42$ or $r = 14$.
