The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the values of \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) based on the coefficients of the middle terms in the expansions of \( (1 + x)^{2n} \) and \( (1 + x)^{2n-1} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Find the Coefficient \( A \)**: - The middle term in the expansion of \( (1 + x)^{2n} \) can be found using the formula for the middle term. - Since \( 2n \) is even, the middle term is given by the \( (n + 1) \)-th term. - The general term \( T_{r+1} \) in the expansion is given by: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{2n}{r} x^r \] - For the middle term \( T_{n+1} \) (where \( r = n \)): \[ A = \binom{2n}{n} \] 2. **Find the Coefficients \( B \) and \( C \)**: - Now consider the expansion of \( (1 + x)^{2n-1} \). Since \( 2n-1 \) is odd, there are two middle terms. - The middle terms are given by the \( n \)-th and \( (n + 1) \)-th terms. - The general term \( T_{r+1} \) in this expansion is: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{2n-1}{r} x^r \] - For the \( n \)-th term: \[ B = \binom{2n-1}{n-1} \] - For the \( (n + 1) \)-th term: \[ C = \binom{2n-1}{n} \] 3. **Calculate \( B + C \)**: - Now, we need to find \( B + C \): \[ B + C = \binom{2n-1}{n-1} + \binom{2n-1}{n} \] - Using the property of binomial coefficients: \[ \binom{n}{k} + \binom{n}{k+1} = \binom{n+1}{k+1} \] - We have: \[ B + C = \binom{2n-1}{n-1} + \binom{2n-1}{n} = \binom{2n}{n} \] 4. **Find the Ratio \( \frac{A}{B + C} \)**: - Now substituting the values of \( A \) and \( B + C \): \[ A = \binom{2n}{n} \] \[ B + C = \binom{2n}{n} \] - Therefore: \[ \frac{A}{B + C} = \frac{\binom{2n}{n}}{\binom{2n}{n}} = 1 \] ### Final Answer: \[ \frac{A}{B + C} = 1 \]
