In the expansion of (1+x)n(1+x)^{n}, the coefficients of the 3rd term and the 7th term are equal. (i) Write expressions for these two coefficients in terms of nn. (ii) Equate the expressions obtained in part (i) and solve for nn. (iii) For the value of nn obtained, determine the greatest binomial coefficient that appears in the expansion.
