Question -


If the coefficient of the middle term in the expansion of (1+x)2n+2 is p and the coefficients of middle terms in the expansion of (1+x)2n+1 are q and r, then

Options:
A .   p + q = r
B .   p + r = q
C .   p = q + r
D .   p + q + r = 0
Answer: Option C
:
C

Since (n+2)th term is the middle term in the 


expansion of (1+x)2n+2, therefore p = 2n+2Cn+1.


Since (n+1)th and (n+2)th terms are middle terms in the expansion of (1+x)2n+1,
therefore q = 2n+1Cn and r =2n+1C2n+1.


 But ,2n+1Cn +2n+1Cn+12n+2Cn+1


∴ q + r = p
