Solution

The coefficient of xn is (1 + x)2n is ?
Since Tr +1 = 2nCr xr
For xn coefficient put r = n
i.e coefficient of xn is 2nCn
i.e. A = 2nCn
and for coefficient of xn in (1 + x)2n–1
Tr +1 = 2n–1Cr xr
Put r = n
i.e. coefficient of xn in (1 + x)2n–1 is 2n–1Cn
i.e B = 2n–1Cn
AB= 2nCn 2n-1Cn=(2n)! n! n!n! n! (2n-1)!=2
