Correct answer: 6
-
Let the three consecutive binomial coefficients in be for some integer .
They are given to be in the ratio
-
So,
-
Use ratios of consecutive binomial coefficients: where .
-
From the given ratio, so
-
Also, so
-
Equate the two expressions for :
-
Since ,
-
Therefore, the required integer is
