    If the sum of the coefficients in the expansion of  \[{{(x-2y+3z)}^{n}}\] is 128 then the greatest coefficient in the expansion of \[{{(1+x)}^{n}}\]is

    A) 35

    B) 20

    C) 10

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Sum of the coefficient in the expansion \[{{(x-2y+3z)}^{n}}\]is \[{{(1-2+3)}^{2}}={{2}^{n}}\] \ \[{{2}^{n}}=128\Rightarrow n=7\] Therefore, greatest coefficient in the expansion of \[{{(1+x)}^{7}}\]is \[^{7}{{C}_{3}}\]or \[^{7}{{C}_{4}}\]because both are equal to 35.
