Solution

The correct option is A $0$
Given : $(1 + x)^{p + q}$
General term is
$T_{r + 1} =^{p + q} C_{r} (1)^{p + q - r} x^{r} \Rightarrow T_{r + 1} =^{p + q} C_{r} x^{r}$
Coefficient of $x^{p} =^{p + q} C_{p}$
Coefficient of $x^{q} =^{p + q} C_{q}$
So, $^{p + q} C_{p} =^{p + q} C_{q}$
Hence, the absolute difference between the coefficients is $0.$
