In the expansion of `(1 + x)^43` ,the co-efficients of `(2r + 1)th and (r + 2)th` terms are equal. Find `r`.A. 5B. 14C. 21D. 22

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Given, in the expression `g(1+x)^(43)`, coefficients of `(2r + 1)^(th)` term and `(r + 2)^(th)` term are equal.
Coefficient of `(2r+1)^(th)` term = `n_(C_(2r))`
Coefficient of `(r + 2)^(th)` term = `n_(C_(r+1))`
`n_(C_(2r))=n_(C_r+1)`
`rArr 43_(C_(2r))=43_(C_(r+1))" "(because n = 43)`
`rArr 2r + r + 1 = 43`
`rArr 3r + 1 = 43`
`rArr 3r + 42 rArr r = 14`
