Binomial Theorem And Its Simple Applications Question 158

Question: If the sum of the coefficients in the expansion of $ {{(x-2y+3z)}^{n}} $ is 128 then the greatest coefficient in the expansion of $ {{(1+x)}^{n}} $ is

Options:

A) 35

B) 20

C) 10

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • Sum of the coefficient in the expansion $ {{(x-2y+3z)}^{n}} $ is $ {{(1-2+3)}^{2}}=2^{n} $ \ $ 2^{n}=128\Rightarrow n=7 $

Therefore, greatest coefficient in the expansion of $ {{(1+x)}^{7}} $ is $ ^{7}C_3 $ or $ ^{7}C_4 $ because both are equal to 35.
