Q.

The sum of all rational terms in the expansion of (215+513)15 is equal to              [2024]

1 3133  
2 633  
3 931  
4 6131  

Ans.

(1)

We have, (21/5+51/3)15

     Tr+1=Cr15(21/5)15-r(51/3)r=Cr155r/32(3-r5)

For rational terms, r3 and r5 must be an integer

    3 and 5 divide r15 divides rr=0 and r=15

Hence, C0155023+C15155520

      Required sum = 8 + 3125 = 3133
