Dear student,

I will give u a hint here:

Expansion (x+y)n :

(i)        There are (n+1) terms in the expansion.

(ii)        In each term, sum of the indices of ‘x’ and ‘y’ is equal to ‘n’.

(iii)        In any term, the lower suffix of ‘c’ is equal to the index of ‘y’, and the index of x = n-(lower suffix of c).

(iv)             Because  nCr = nCn-r,

    so we have :

nCo = nCn

nC1=nCn-1

nC2=nCn-2 etc.

It follows that the coefficients of terms equidistant from the beginning and the ends are equal.
