The number of terms in expansion of (1+x)<sup>n</sup> with r-th term having coefficient nCr is:

Answer: n+1.

  • A n
  • B n+1
  • C n-1
  • D 2n

Correct answer: B. n+1

Explanation: Binomial expansion: (1+x)ⁿ = C(n,0) + C(n,1)x + … + C(n,n)xⁿ. Terms correspond to r = 0,1,2,…,n: that is n+1 terms in total.
