The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio of the coefficient of the middle term in the expansion of \((1+x)^{20}\) and the sum of the coefficients of the two middle terms in the expansion of \((1+x)^{19}\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Find the Coefficient of the Middle Term in \((1+x)^{20}\)**: - The middle term in the expansion of \((1+x)^{20}\) can be found using the formula for the binomial expansion. Since \(n = 20\) (which is even), the middle term is given by: \[ T_{10} = \binom{20}{10} x^{10} \] - Therefore, the coefficient \(a\) of the middle term is: \[ a = \binom{20}{10} \] 2. **Find the Two Middle Terms in \((1+x)^{19}\)**: - For \((1+x)^{19}\), since \(n = 19\) (which is odd), the two middle terms are \(T_{9}\) and \(T_{10}\): \[ T_{9} = \binom{19}{9} x^{9} \quad \text{and} \quad T_{10} = \binom{19}{10} x^{10} \] - The coefficients of these terms are: \[ b = \binom{19}{9} \quad \text{and} \quad c = \binom{19}{10} \] 3. **Sum of the Coefficients of the Two Middle Terms**: - The sum of the coefficients \(b + c\) is: \[ b + c = \binom{19}{9} + \binom{19}{10} \] - By the binomial coefficient property, we know that: \[ \binom{n}{r} + \binom{n}{r+1} = \binom{n+1}{r+1} \] - Thus, we have: \[ b + c = \binom{19}{9} + \binom{19}{10} = \binom{20}{10} \] 4. **Finding the Ratio**: - Now, we can find the ratio of \(a\) to \(b + c\): \[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{a}{b+c} = \frac{\binom{20}{10}}{\binom{20}{10}} = 1 \] ### Final Answer: The ratio of the coefficient of the middle term in the expansion of \((1+x)^{20}\) and the sum of the coefficients of the two middle terms in the expansion of \((1+x)^{19}\) is **1**.
