Solution

The correct option is B 3n
To find the coefficient of xn in the expansion of (1+x)2n1x
This can be written as (1+x)2n(1x)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
