If the sum of the coefficients in the  expansion of (a+b)^n  is 4096, then the  greatest coefficient in the expansion is

$$\mathrm{If}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{sum}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{coefficients}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{the} \\ $$$$\mathrm{expansion}\:\mathrm{of}\:\left({a}+{b}\right)^{{n}} \:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{4096},\:\mathrm{then}\:\mathrm{the} \\ $$$$\mathrm{greatest}\:\mathrm{coefficient}\:\mathrm{in}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{expansion}\:\mathrm{is} \\ $$

if the sum of coefficients = 4096   so 2^n  = 4096 ⇒ n = 12  the greatest coefficient will be = 12C6 = 924

$$\mathrm{if}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{sum}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{coefficients}\:=\:\mathrm{4096}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{so}\:\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{n}} \:=\:\mathrm{4096}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{n}\:=\:\mathrm{12} \\ $$$$\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{greatest}\:\mathrm{coefficient}\:\mathrm{will}\:\mathrm{be}\:=\:\mathrm{12C6}\:=\:\mathrm{924} \\ $$
