The correct answer is 6.

To find the index $r$ such that $a_r$ is the largest coefficient among all $a_j$ for $0\le j\le 23$, we start by expressing the coefficients explicitly using the Binomial Theorem.

The given binomial expansion is:
${(1+\frac{2}{5}x)}^{23}=\sum _{i=0$ $}^{}$23aixi
Using the general term of a binomial expansion, the coefficient $a_k$ of $x^k$ is given by:
$a_k=\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{23}{k}\right){\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)}^k$

To determine when the sequence of coefficients $a_k$ is increasing or decreasing, we examine the ratio of consecutive terms:
$\frac{a_k}{a_{k-1}}=\frac{\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{23}{k}\right){\left(\frac{2}{5}\right)}^k}{(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{23}{k-1})}$
Simplifying the ratio of the binomial coefficients:
$\frac{\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{23}{k}\right)}{(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{23}{k-1}}=\frac{23!}{k!(23-k)!}\times \frac{(k-1)!(24-k)!}{23!}=\frac{24-k}{k}$
Therefore, the ratio of consecutive terms is:
$\frac{a_k}{a_{k-1}}=\frac{24-k}{k}\times \frac{2}{5}$

To find where the coefficients are increasing, we set this ratio to be greater than 1:
$\frac{2(24-k)}{5k}>1$
Multiplying both sides by $5k$ (since $k>0$):
$48-2k>5k$
$48>7k$
$k<\frac{48}{7}\approx 6.86$

Since $k$ must be an integer:
For $k\le 6$, we have $a_k>a_{k-1}$. This means:
$a_0<a_1<a_2<a_3<a_4<a_5<a_6$

For $k\ge 7$, we have $a_k<a_{k-1}$. This means:
$a_6>a_7>a_8>\dots >a_{23}$

Combining these inequalities, we get:
$a_0<a_1<\dots <a_5<a_6>a_7>\dots >a_{23}$
Thus, the largest coefficient is $a_6$, which corresponds to $r=6$.
