Solution
Let the coefficients of the middle terms in the expansion of and , respectively form the first three terms of an A.P. If is the common difference of this A.P., then is equal to _____ .
Given,
Coefficients of middle terms of given expansions , and are respectively,
Now it is given that middle terms are forming an
So,
So, and {which is not possible as }
Now
Now putting the value of in we get,
