    If A and B are the coefficients of \[{{x}^{n}}\] in the expansions of \[{{(1+x)}^{2n}}\] and \[{{(1+x)}^{2n-1}}\]respectively, then [MP PET 1999; Pb. CET 2004]

    A) \[A=B\]

    B) \[A=2B\]

    C) \[2A=B\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[\frac{\text{Coefficient}\,\text{of}\,{{x}^{n}}\,\text{in}\,\text{expansion}\,\,\text{of}{{(1+x)}^{2n}}}{\text{Coefficient}\,\text{of}\,{{x}^{n}}\,\text{in}\,\text{expansion}\,\,\text{of}\,{{(1+x)}^{2n-1}}}\] \[=\frac{^{2n}{{C}_{n}}}{^{(2n-1)}{{C}_{n}}}=\frac{(2n)!}{n!\,n!}\times \frac{(n-1)!\,n!}{(2n-1)!}\] \[=\frac{(2n)(2n-1)!(n-1)!}{n(n-1)!\,\,(2n-1)!}=\frac{2n}{n}=2:1\] Þ \[\frac{A}{B}=\frac{2}{1}\] Þ \[A=2B\].
