Find the sum of coefficients of two middle terms in the binomial expansion of (1 + x)2n-1

Given:


Total terms after expansion = 2n-1+1=2n


Middle term = 2n/2 = nth term


So two required middle terms are : nth & (n+1)th term


k= (n-1) & n for both terms respectively.



(1 + x)2n-1


Coefficient of nth term;


=2n-1Cn-1


Coefficient of (n+1)th term ;


= 2n-1Cn


Sum of coefficients = 2n-1Cn-1 + 2n-1Cn


= 2n-1+1Cn


=2nCn
