Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{32}{ }^{15} \mathrm{C}_5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(T_{r+1}\) and \(T_r\) denotes the \((\mathrm{r}+1)\) th and \(r\) th term in the expansion of \((1+x)^{15}\) \[ \therefore \quad T_{r+1}={ }^n C_r x^r \text { and } T_r={ }^n C_{r-1} x^{r-1} \text {, where } n=15 \] For greatest term in the expansion…
