7.Binomial Theorem
easy
If in the expansion of ${(1 + x)^{21}}$, the coefficients of ${x^r}$ and ${x^{r + 1}}$ be equal, then $r$ is equal to
A
$9$
B
$10$
C
$11$
D
$12$
Solution
(b) ${T_{r + 1}} = {\,^{21}}{C_r}{(1)^{21 – r}}{(x)^r} = {\,^{21}}{C_r}$
$\therefore $Coefficient of ${x^r} = {\,^{21}}{C_r}$ and coefficient of ${x^{r + 1}} = {\,^{21}}{C_{r + 1}}$
So, we must have $^{21}{C_r} = {\,^{21}}{C_{r + 1}} \Rightarrow r = 10$.
