AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to show that if the coefficients of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th terms in the expansion of \((1+x)^{2n}\) are in Arithmetic Progression (A.P.), then it leads to the equation \(2n^2 - 9n + 7 = 0\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Coefficients**: The coefficients of the terms in the binomial expansion of \((1+x)^{2n}\) are given by the binomial coefficients: - Coefficient of the 2nd term: \(C(2n, 1) = \binom{2n}{1} = 2n\) - Coefficient of the 3rd term: \(C(2n, 2) = \binom{2n}{2} = \frac{2n(2n-1)}{2} = n(2n-1)\) ...
