(B) The general term in the expansion of $(1 + x)^n$ is given by $T_{k+1} = {}^nC_k x^k$.For the expansion of $(1 + x)^{21}$,the coefficient of $x^r$ is ${}^{21}C_r$ and the coefficient of $x^{r+1}$ is ${}^{21}C_{r+1}$.Given that the coefficients are equal,we have ${}^{21}C_r = {}^{21}C_{r+1}$.Using the property ${}^nC_a = {}^nC_b \Rightarrow a = b$ or $a + b = n$,we get $r + (r + 1) = 21$.$2r + 1 = 21$ $\Rightarrow 2r = 20$ $\Rightarrow r = 10$.
