The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the sequence given and determine which term is the greatest when \( n = 50 \). The sequence is defined as: \[ T_r = \frac{nC_r}{(r+1)(r+2)(r+3)} \] where \( n = 50 \). ### Step 1: Define the General Term The general term of the sequence can be expressed as: \[ T_{r+1} = \frac{50C_r}{(r+1)(r+2)(r+3)} \] ### Step 2: Write the Binomial Coefficient The binomial coefficient \( 50C_r \) can be expressed as: \[ 50C_r = \frac{50!}{r!(50-r)!} \] ### Step 3: Substitute the Binomial Coefficient into the General Term Substituting the expression for \( 50C_r \) into the general term, we get: \[ T_{r+1} = \frac{50!}{r!(50-r)! \cdot (r+1)(r+2)(r+3)} \] ### Step 4: Simplify the General Term We can rewrite the denominator: \[ (r+1)(r+2)(r+3) = (r+3)! \] Thus, we can express \( T_{r+1} \) as: \[ T_{r+1} = \frac{50!}{(50-r)! \cdot (r+3)!} \] ### Step 5: Identify the Maximum Term To find the maximum term, we need to analyze the behavior of \( T_{r+1} \). The term \( T_{r+1} \) will be maximized when \( r \) is approximately \( \frac{n}{2} \). ### Step 6: Set Up the Condition for Maximum Since \( n = 50 \): \[ r + 3 = \frac{53}{2} \] This gives: \[ r + 3 = 26.5 \implies r = 23.5 \] Since \( r \) must be an integer, we can take \( r = 23 \). ### Step 7: Find the Corresponding Term The term corresponding to \( r = 23 \) is: \[ T_{24} = \frac{50C_{23}}{(24)(25)(26)} \] ### Step 8: Conclusion Thus, the greatest term in the sequence when \( n = 50 \) is the 24th term. ### Final Answer The greatest term is the **24th term**. ---

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the sequence given and determine which term is the greatest when \( n = 50 \). The sequence is defined as: \[ T_r = \frac{nC_r}{(r+1)(r+2)(r+3)} \] where \( n = 50 \). ...
