Solution
The correct option is B3n To find the coefficient of xn in the expansion of (1+x)2n1−x This can be written as (1+x)2n(1−x)−1 =((2n0)+(2n1)x+(2n2)x2+(2n3)x3+............+(2nn)xn)(1+x+x2+x3+x4+...) On Multiplying this, we can find the coefficient of xn as summation of =(2n0)+(2n1)+(2n2).......+(2nn) =3n
