To find sum of binomial coefficients just put all the variables equal to 1.
i.e. for (x 3y + 4z + 2t)
1884
(1 3 + 4 + 2)
1884
= 4

if is an integer (say m) then greatest term is Tm+1= Tm
If its integral part is m then greatest term is Tm+1
If coefficients rth, ( r+1)th, ( r +2)th terms in (1+x)
n
are in A.P. then r=( n 2 n + )/2
