Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(n+1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In the expansion of \((1+x)^n\), the general term i.e. \((r+1)\) th tem is \[ T_{Y+1}={ }^n C_Y(1)^{n-y} X^Y={ }^n C_Y X^Y \] \(\therefore\) Coefficient of \((r+1)\) th term is \({ }^n C_Y\) Similarly, coefficient of \(p\) th term \(={ }^n C_{p-1}\)…
