Actually no.

The values of r in nCr goes from 0 to n where r are integers.

The first term in the expansion involves r = 0.
The second term involves r = 1.
The third term involves r = 2.
The kth term involves r = k - 1.

These are called the general "r + 1"th term.

So for the sixth term, r = 5.

I realised that. Sorry for the mistake. The correct answer should be n=15 and 3003/32. Thanks for pointing out.
