The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both statements provided. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 2 Statement 2 claims that the greatest coefficient in the expansion of \((1 + x)^{2n}\) is the middle term. 1. The binomial expansion of \((1 + x)^{2n}\) is given by: \[ \sum_{r=0}^{2n} \binom{2n}{r} x^{r} \] The coefficients in this expansion are \(\binom{2n}{r}\). 2. The maximum coefficient occurs at \(r = n\) if \(2n\) is even, which corresponds to the middle term. Therefore, the middle term is indeed the greatest coefficient. **Conclusion for Statement 2**: This statement is correct. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 1 Statement 1 claims that the greatest coefficient in the expansion of \((1 + 3x)^6\) is \(\binom{6}{3} \cdot 3^3\). 1. The binomial expansion of \((1 + 3x)^6\) is: \[ \sum_{r=0}^{6} \binom{6}{r} (3x)^{r} = \sum_{r=0}^{6} \binom{6}{r} 3^r x^r \] The coefficients in this expansion are \(\binom{6}{r} \cdot 3^r\). 2. To find the greatest coefficient, we need to evaluate \(\binom{6}{r} \cdot 3^r\) for \(r = 0, 1, 2, \ldots, 6\). 3. We can check the coefficients: - For \(r = 0\): \(\binom{6}{0} \cdot 3^0 = 1\) - For \(r = 1\): \(\binom{6}{1} \cdot 3^1 = 6 \cdot 3 = 18\) - For \(r = 2\): \(\binom{6}{2} \cdot 3^2 = 15 \cdot 9 = 135\) - For \(r = 3\): \(\binom{6}{3} \cdot 3^3 = 20 \cdot 27 = 540\) - For \(r = 4\): \(\binom{6}{4} \cdot 3^4 = 15 \cdot 81 = 1215\) - For \(r = 5\): \(\binom{6}{5} \cdot 3^5 = 6 \cdot 243 = 1458\) - For \(r = 6\): \(\binom{6}{6} \cdot 3^6 = 1 \cdot 729 = 729\) 4. The coefficients calculated show that the maximum coefficient occurs at \(r = 5\) which is \(1458\), not at \(r = 3\) as stated in Statement 1. **Conclusion for Statement 1**: This statement is incorrect. ### Final Conclusion - Statement 1 is incorrect. - Statement 2 is correct.
