Result of Binomial Theorem -

Sum of product of binomial coefficients in the expansion is ^{2n}c_{n+r}

hence c_{0}c_{r}+c_{1}c_{r+1}+----+c_{n-r}c_{n}= \frac{\left ( 2n \right )!}{\left ( n-r \right )!\left ( n+r \right )!}

 

-

 

 

\left ( 1+x \right )^{20}=^{20}\textrm{C}_0+^{20}\textrm{C}_1x+^{20}\textrm{C}_2x^{2}+\cdots +^{20}\textrm{C}_1x^{4}+\cdots

\left ( 1+x \right )^{20}=^{20}\textrm{C}_0+^{20}\textrm{C}_1x+^{20}\textrm{C}_2x^{2}+\cdots +^{20}\textrm{C}_r-1x^{r-1}+\cdots

\Rightarrow \left ( 1+x \right )^{40}=\sum \left ( ^{20}\textrm{C}_0\: \: ^{20}\textrm{C}_r+ ^{20}\textrm{C}_1^{20}\textrm{C}_r-1+\cdots \right )x^{r}+\cdots

Coefficient of x^{r}  is maximum in \left ( 1+x \right )^{40}  in r=20
