Let the coefficients be ( n + 5 ) c r 1 , ( n + 5 ) c r (n+5) c_{r-1}, (n+5) c_{r} and ( n + 5 ) c r + 1 (n+5) c_{r+1} .

then:

( n + 5 ) c r 1 ( n + 5 ) c r = 5 10 \frac{(n+5) c_{r-1}}{(n+5) c_{r}} = \frac{5}{10}

r n + 6 r = 1 2 \frac{r}{n+6-r} = \frac{1}{2}

r = n + 6 3 r=\frac{n+6}{3}

Also,

( n + 5 ) c r ( n + 5 ) c r + 1 = 10 14 \frac{(n+5) c_{r}}{(n+5) c_{r+1}} = \frac{10}{14}

r + 1 n + 5 r = 5 7 \frac{r+1}{n+5-r} = \frac{5}{7}

12 r = 5 n + 18 12r = 5n + 18

substituting value of r, we get n = 6 \boxed{n = 6}
