      The authors prove that for all integers \(k\) with \(1\leq k\leq n+1,\;n=0,1,2,\ldots\) NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\left(\left[\left.\begin{matrix} n+1\\ k\end{matrix}\right|1\right]\right)^2>\left[\left.\begin{matrix} n+1\\ k-1\end{matrix}\right|1\right]\left[\left.\begin{matrix} n+1\\ k+1\end{matrix}\right|1\right],NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(\left[\left.\begin{matrix} d\\ p\end{matrix}\right|1\right]=0\) if either \(p=0\) or \(p>d\). Here \(\left[\left.\begin{matrix} n\\ k\end{matrix}\right|1\right]\) is the number of all pairwise different unit-weight \(k\)-dimensional subspaces of the \(n\)-dimensional vector space over a finite field.
