    In the expansion of \[{{\left( 1 + x \right)}^{18}}\] , if the coefficients of \[{{(2r+4)}^{th}}\] and \[{{(r-2)}^{th}}\] terms are equal, then the value of r is:

    A) 12                                

    B) 10

    C) 8                     

    D)        6

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Since the coefficient of \[{{(r+1)}^{th}}\] term in the expansion of \[{{(1+x)}^{n}}\,\,=\,{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{r}}\] \[\therefore  \,in the expansion of\,{{\left( 1+x \right)}^{18}}\] coefficient of \[{{(2r+4)}^{th}}\,term\,\,=\,{{\,}^{18}}{{C}_{2r\,+\,3}}\] Similarly, coefficient \[{{(r-2)}^{th}}\] term in the expansion of \[{{(1+x)}^{18}}={{\,}^{18}}{{C}_{r-3}}\] If \[^{n}{{C}_{r}}={{ }^{n}}{{C}_{s}}\,\,then\,\,r+s=n\] \[2r+3+r-3=18\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,3r=18\Rightarrow \,\,r=6.\]
