      Question

      If the sum of the coefficients in the expansion of (a +

      b)n is 16384, then the greatest coefficient in the expansion is
      A 3432 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 3332 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 3232 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Binomial expansion: (x + y)n = C0 xn + C1 xn-1 y + C2 xn-2y2 + ….+ Cnyn Putting x = y = 1, we get 2n = C0 + C1 + C2 + ….+ Cn = 16384 = 214 => n = 14 Since n is even here, so the coefficient of greatest term is n Cn/2 = 14C14/2 = 14C7 = 13 × 2 × 11 × 2 × 3 × 2 = 3432
