In the expansion of `(a+b)^(n)`, if two consecutive terms are equal, then which of the following is/are always integer ?A. `((n+1)b)/(a+b)`B. `((n+1)a)/(a+b)`C. `(na)/(a-b)`D. `(na)/(a+b)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B
We have `(a+b)^(n)`
`(T_(r+1))/(T_(r)) = (n-r+1)/(r ) . b/a = 1`
`:. (n+1)b-r = ar`
`:. r = -((n+1)b)/(a+b)` is integer
Also, considering `(b+a)^(n)`.
`(T_(r+1))/(T_(r)) = (n-r+1)/(r ) . a/b = 1`
`:. R = ((n+1)a)/(a+b)` is integer
