We know that the sum of the coefficients in a binomial expansion is obtained by replacing each variable by unit in the given expression. Therefore, 
Sum of the coefficients in (\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b})^{\mathrm{n}}=(1+1)^{\mathrm{n}}

\Rightarrow 4096=2^n \Rightarrow 2^n=2^{12} \Rightarrow n=12

Hence, n is even. So, the greatest coefficient is { }^n C_{e / 2} \text { i.e. }{ }^{12} C_6=924
