Solution

The correct option is B 2nCn
Given (1+x)n=C0+C1x+C2x2+....+Cnxn ...(i)
and (1+1x)n=C0+C11x+C2(1x)2+....+Cn(1x)n ......(ii) (Replacing x by 1x)
If we multiply (i) and (ii), we get
(1+x)n(1+1x)n=C20+C21+C22+...+C2n
1xn(1+x)2n=C20+C21+C22+...+C2n
Clearly, RHS is the term independent of x and hence it is equal to the term independent of x in the product
1xn(1+x)2n or term containing xn in (1+x)2n
Clearly the cofficient of xn in (1+x)2n occurs in Tn+1 and is equal to 2nCn=(2n)!n!n!
