Binomial Theorem

The two successive terms in the expansion of $(1+x)^{24}$ whose coefficients are in the ratio 1: 4 are
(A) $3^{\text {rd }}$ and $4^{\text {th }}$
(B) $4^{\text {th }}$ and $5^{\text {th }}$
(C) $5^{\text {th }}$ and $6^{\text {th }}$
(D) $6^{\text {th }}$ and $7^{\text {th }}$

(C) $5^{\text {th }}$ and $6^{\text {th }}$ Explanation: Let $(r+1)^{\text {th }}$ and $(r+$ 2 ) th term be the two successive terms in the expansion of $(1+x)^{24}$. Now, $T_{r+1}={ }^{24} C_{r}...
