for the consecutive coeffs to be equal
7Cr=7Cr+1
7!(r)!(7-r)!=7!(r+1)!(7-r+1)!
(r+1)!(r)!=(7-r)!(7-r+1)!
r+1=17-r+1
=18-r
(r+1)(8-r)=1
8r-r2+8-r=1
r2-7r-7=0
which is giving surd roots hence there are no such values of r for which this is possible

7Cr37-r2r=7Cr+137-(r+1)2r+1

7!*37-r*2rr!(7-r)!=7!*37-r-1*2r+1r!(7-r-1)!

1r!(7-r)!=3*2(r+1)!(7-r-1)!

(r+1)!r!=3*2(7-r)!(7-r-1)!

(r)=3*2(7-r)

r=42-6r
7r=42
r=6.
check if you ger the results from this??

this question was in nishant's sir paper.... i mean edu ka study material.... soo i cnt say if it wrong...!!...

that`s what i was saying....either the first qstn is wrong or if its an mcq qstn then the option will be none of these....

yup and after tath u will get

r=7-r

so r=7/2

but r has to be an integer!

@vatsalya .... in the second line it will be:

7! = 7!
r! (7-r)! (r+1)!(7-r-1)! [not (7-r+1)!]

the coeff of 3 consecutive terms in the expansion of (1+x)^n are in the ratio 1:7:42. find n.

okk.... ill tryy.. thnkss...

for the first 1 i mean equate coeff. dont include x and x+1 in that :P

rishabh ·

do the same fr the next ques..take ratio as given..
simple but labourious

1
rishabh ·

for the first one,
write the rth term and the r+1 th term (byjust replacing r by r+1)
and equate them,
to get r....i think we'll get some fractional value for r that means no such terms exist..
and evn if u get some integer then check it by equating r+1 and r+2th term

can any1 solve these...???

Nitu Sharaff ·

nopee...... the sum sayzz this only.. i checked it again.....
