Let 1st,2nd and 3rd terms be in the ratio 1:7:42

Therefore,

nC1 x = 7

or, nx = 7  ---------------------- I

nC2 x = 42

or, n(n-1) x2 = 42

or, nx(n-1)x = 42

or, 7(n-1)x = 42

or, 7nx - 7x = 42

or, 49 - 7x = 42

or, x = 1

putting value of x in 1st equation , n = 7

Hence n = 7

forgot to make it in powers pls understand that way. the second equation is nC2 x2

This is the correct answer after you find the coefficients using the general formula. to find coefficients use general formula in Tr+1, T(r+1)+1 and T (r+2)+1.
