If the coefficients of \((2 r+6)^{\text {th }}\) and \((r-1)^{\text {th }}\) terms in the expansion of \((1+x)^{21}\) are equal, then the value of \(r=\)

  1. A \(7\)
  2. B \(5\)
  3. C \(6\)
  4. D \(8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

General term of \((1+x)^{21}\) is \(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{r}+1}={ }^{21} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}} x^{\mathrm{r}}\) Coefficient of \((2 r+6)^{\text {th }}\) term \(=\) Coeff. of \((r-1)^{\text {th }}\) term \(\Rightarrow 2 r+5=21-(r-2) \Rightarrow \mathrm{r}=6\)
