Please answer to it in simple form and in short.as soon as possible ...!!

It is known that (k + 1)th term, (Tk+1), in the binomial expansion of (a + b)n is given by .

Therefore, (r – 1)th term in the expansion of (x + 1)n is

r th term in the expansion of (x + 1)n is

(r + 1)th term in the expansion of (x + 1)n is

Therefore, the coefficients of the (r – 1)th, rth, and (r + 1)th terms in the expansion of (x + 1)n are respectively. Since these coefficients are in the ratio 1:3:5, we obtain

Multiplying (1) by 3 and subtracting it from (2), we obtain

4r – 12 = 0

r = 3

Putting the value of r in (1), we obtain

n – 12 + 5 = 0

n = 7

Thus, n = 7 and r = 3
