the co efficients of x pand x q in the expansion of 1 x p q

The co-efficients of $${x^p}\,{\text{and }}{x^q}$$ in the expansion of $${\left( {1 + x} \right)^{p + q}}$$ are

A. equal

B. equal with opposite signs

C. reciprocals of each other

D. none of these

Answer : equal

Solution :
We have $${t_{p + 1}} = {\,^{p + q}}{C_p}{x^p}\,{\text{and }}{t_{q + 1}} = {\,^{p + q}}{C_q}{x^q}$$
$$^{p + q}{C_p} = {\,^{p + q}}{C_q}.\left[ {{\text{Remember}}{{\text{ }}^n}{C_r} = {\,^n}{C_{n - r}}} \right]$$
