Coefficient of (2 r+1)^{\mathrm{th}} term in expansion of   (1+x)^{43}={ }^{43} C_{2 r}  and the coefficient of  (r+2)^{t h} term = coefficient of\{(r+1)+1\}^{\text {th }} \text { term }={ }^{43} C_{r+1}  
    According to question,  { }^{43} C_{2 r}={ }^{43} C_{r+1}={ }^{43} C_{43-(r+1)}
    then  2 r=43-(r+1) \text { or } 3 r=42 \text { or } r=14 .
