Solution

This statement is False.

Explanation:

The given expression is (1 + x)2n–1 

Number of terms = 2n – 1 + 1 = 2n  ....(Even)

∴ Middle terms are `(2"n")/2` th term and `((2"n")/2 + 1)^"th"` terms

= nth terms and (n + 1)th terms

Coefficient of nth term = 2n–1Cn–1

And he coefficient of (n + 1)th term = 2n–1Cn

Sum of the coefficients = `""(2n + 1)C_(n - 1) + ""^(2n - 1)C_n`

= `""^(2n - 1)C_(n - 1) + ""^(2n - 1)C_n`

= `""^(2n - 1 + 1)C_n`

= 2nCn
