Binomial Coefficient of the middle term is greatest.

 

Now,

\\^nC_{r}\;\text{ is max at middle term}\\\begin{array}{l}{a=^{19} C_{p}=^{19} C_{10}=^{19} C_{9}} \\ {b=^{20} C_{q}=^{20} C_{10}} \\ {c=^{21} C_{r}=^{21} C_{10}=^{21} C_{11}}\end{array}

\frac{a}{^{19}C_9}=\frac{b}{ ^{20} \mathrm{C}_{10}}=\frac{c}{^{21} \mathrm{C}_{11}}

\frac{a}{^{19}C_9}=\frac{b}{\frac{20}{10} \cdot ^{19} \mathrm{C}_9}=\frac{c}{\frac{21}{11} \cdot \frac{20}{10} ^{19} \mathrm{C}_{9}}

\\\frac{a}{1}=\frac{b}{2}=\frac{c}{42 / 11}\\\frac{a}{11}=\frac{b}{22}=\frac{c}{42}
