    \[{{r}^{th}}\]term in the expansion of  \[{{(a+2x)}^{n}}\]is

    A) \[\frac{n(n+1)....(n-r+1)}{r!}{{a}^{n-r+1}}{{(2x)}^{r}}\]

    B) \[\frac{n(n-1)....(n-r+2)}{(r-1)\,!}{{a}^{n-r+1}}{{(2x)}^{r-1}}\]

    C) \[\frac{n(n+1)....(n-r)}{(r+1)!}{{a}^{n-r}}{{(x)}^{r}}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[{{r}^{th}}\] term of \[{{(a+2x)}^{n}}\]is \[^{n}{{C}_{r-1}}{{(a)}^{n-r+1}}{{(2x)}^{r-1}}\] \[=\frac{n!}{(n-r+1)!(r-1)!}{{a}^{n-r+1}}{{(2x)}^{r-1}}\] \[=\frac{n(n-1).....(n-r+2)}{(r-1)!}{{a}^{n-r+1}}{{(2x)}^{r-1}}\]
