AP EAMCET2002MathematicsBinomial Theorem
In the expansion of (1+x)^n the coefficients of p th and (p+1) th terms are respectively p and q , then p+q is equal to
Options
- An
- Bn+1
- Cn+2
- Dn+3
Correct answer
B. n+1
Step-by-step solution
We have, aligned T_p & = ^n C_ p-1 =p T_ p+1 & = ^n C_p=q p q & = ^n C_ p-1 ^n C_p p q & = p n-p+1 p+q=n+1 aligned
