Solution

The correct option is B $2 r = n$
$⟹$ Coefficient of $(3 r)$ th tem
$=^{2 n} C_{3 r - 1}$
Coefficient of $(r + 2)$ th term
$^{2 n} C_{r + 1}$
$\frac{(2 n)!}{(3 r - 1)! (2 n - 3 r + 1)!} = \frac{(2 n)!}{(r + 1)! (2 n - r - 1)!}$
Now, by comparison:-
$(I)$ $2 n - 3 r + 1 = 2 n - r - 1$ or $3 r - 1 = r + 1$
$2 r = 2$
$r = 1$
$(I I)$ $r + 1 = 2 n - 3 r + 1$
$4 r = 2 n$
$r = \frac{n}{2}$
$∴ 2 r = n$
