7.Binomial Theorem
normal

In the expansion of $(1 + x)^{43}$ if the co-efficients of the $(2r + 1)^{th}$ and the $(r + 2)^{th}$ terms are equal, the value of $r$ is :

A

$12$

B

$13$

C

$14$

D

$15$

Solution

Given in the expansion of $(1+x)^{43}$ the coefficient of $(2 r+1)^{t h}$ and coefficient of $(r+2)^{t h}$ are equal

${ }_{2 r}^{43} C={ }_{r+1}^{43} C$

Either $2 r=r+1 \Rightarrow r=1$ or

$2 r+r+1=43 \Rightarrow r=14$

Hence $r=1,14$
