Q.

Statement-1: The sum of rational terms in (2+33+56)10 is 1262

Statement-2: The number of irrational terms in the expansion of (51/6+21/8)100 is 97

The correct statements among the following are

1 Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true  
2 Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is false  
3 Statement-1 is false, statement-2 is true  
4 Statement-1 is false, statement-2 is false  

Ans.

(3)

Statement-1 General term=10!α!β!γ! 2α/23β/35γ/6    for rational terms

α=0,2,4,6,8,10,  β=0,3,6,  γ=0,6

Hence possible sets=(4,6,0),(4,0,6),(10,0,0)

Hence, there are 5 rational terms.

∴  required=10!4!6! 22410!10! 25=12632

Statement-3  tr+1, the (r+1)th in the expansion of (51/6+21/8)10 is  tr+1=Cr10(5)100-r6(21/8)r

As 5 and 2 are relatively prime, tr+1 will be rational if 100-r6 and r8 are both integers.

i.e. If 100-r is a multiple of 6 and r is a multiple of 8.

As 0≤r≤100, multiple of 8 upto 100 and corresponding value of 100-r

r=0,8,16,24,…,88,96

100-r=100,92,84,76,…,12,4

Out of 100-r, multiple of 6 are 84,60,36,12.

∴ There are just four rational terms

⇒Number of irrational terms=101-4=97
