Q 11 :

If the second, third and fourth terms in the expansion of (x+y)n are 135, 30, and 103, respectively, then 6(n3+x2+y) is equal to ______.       [2024]



(806)

Tr+1=Crnxn-ryr

∴    C1nxn-1y=135,                                            ...(i)

          C2nxn-2y2=30                                              ...(ii)

and   C3nxn-3y3=103                                            ...(iii)

By (i) and (ii), we have

      C1 nxC2 ny=13530=92                                            ...(iv)

By (ii) and (iii), we have

       C2 nxC3 ny=30103=9                                             ...(v)

By (iv) and (v), we have

       C1 nxC2 ny×C3 nyC2 nx=929

⇒C1 C3nn(C2n)2=12⇒2C1 nC3n=(C2n)2

⇒2n n!3!(n-3)!=(n!2!(n-2)!)2

⇒2n2(n-1)(n-2)6=(n(n-1)2)2

⇒n2(n-1)(n-2)3=n2(n-1)24⇒n-23=n-14

⇒4n-8=3n-3⇒n=5

⇒C2 x5C35 y=9                                                            [Using (v)]

⇒xy=9

⇒x=9y                                                                     ...(vi)

∴    From (i), C1 5x4 x9=135⇒x5=135×95

⇒x5=35

⇒x=3 and y=13                                                 [Using (vi)] 

Hence, 6(n3+x2+y)=6(125+9+13)=806 



Q 12 :

The coefficient of x2012 in the expansion of (1-x)2008(1+x+x2)2007 is equal to _______ .              [2024]



(0)

We have, (1-x)2008(1+x+x2)2007

=(1-x)2007(1-x)(1+x+x2)2007=(1-x)(1-x3)2007

⇒(1-x)(C0-C12007(x3)+...2007)

General term is (1-x)((-1)r Cr 2007x3r)

=(-1)r Cr 2007x3r-(-1)rCr  2007x3r+1

Now, 3r=2012⇒r≠20123

So, 3r+1=2012⇒3r=2011⇒r≠20113

Hence, there is no term containing x2012.

So, coefficient of x2012=0

 



Q 13 :

Number of integral terms in the expansion of {7(12)+11(16)}824 is equal to _______ .             [2024]



(138)

We have, {7(12)+11(16)}824

Now, (n+1)th term =tn+1=Crn 11r6 7824-r2

For integral term, 6 should divide r and 824-r2 must be integer.

⇒2 must divide r and r is divisible by 6

Possible values of r so that integral terms are obtained i.e., 0, 6, 12, ... 822

Now, this is an A.P. so let n be number of integral terms 

∴   822=0+(n-1)6⇒n=138

So, 138 integral terms will be there in the expansion.



Q 14 :

In the expansion of (1+x)(1-x2)(1+3x+3x2+1x3)5,x≠0, the sum of the coefficients of x3 and x-13 is equal to _______ .           [2024]



(118)

The given expansion (1+x)(1-x2)(1+3x+3x2+1x3)5

⇒(1+x)2(1-x)(x3+3x2+3x+1)5x15

⇒(1+x)2(1-x)[(x+1)3]5x15⇒(1-x)(1+x)17x15

∴    Coefficient of x3⇒x18 in (1-x)(1+x)17

⇒(1+x)17-x(1+x)17

⇒0-x(C17 17x17)=C17 17(-1)=-1

and coefficient of x-13⇒x2 in (1-x)(1+x)17

⇒(1+x)17-x(1+x)17

⇒C217-C117=17×8-17=17×7=119

The sum of the coefficient x3 and x-13=-1+119=118



Q 15 :

The term independent of x in the expansion of ((x+1)(x2/3+1–x1/3)–(x–1)(x–x1/2))10, x>1, is:         [2025]

  • 120

     

  • 240

     

  • 210

     

  • 150

     

(3)

We have, ((x+1)(x23+1–x13)–(x–1)(x–x12))10

=((x13+1)–(x+1x))10=(x13–1x)10

Tr+1=Cr10(x)10–r3(–1)r(x)–r2

Since, the term is independent of x, then 10–r3–r2=0

⇒  (20 – 2r) – 3r = 0 ⇒ r = 4.

Hence, the required term is C410(–1)4=210.



Q 16 :

In the expansion of (23+133)n, n∈N, if the ratio of 15th term from the beginning to the 15th term from the end is 16, then the value of C3n is          [2025]

  • 4960

     

  • 4060

     

  • 1040

     

  • 2300

     

(4)

Given, (23+133)n, n∈N

Now, Tr+1=Crn·(23)n–r(133)r

∴  T15=C14n·(23)n–14(133)14

15th term from end = Tn–13 from beginning

⇒ Tn–13=Cn–14n·(23)14(133)n–14

But T15Tn–13=C14n(23)n–14(133)14Cn–14n(23)14(133)n–14=16

⇒ (23)n–28×(33)n–28=6–1 ⇒ (63)n–28=6–1

⇒ n–283=–1 ⇒ n=25

So, C3n=C325=2300.



Q 17 :

The number of integral terms in the expansion of (512+718)1016 is          [2025]

  • 129

     

  • 127

     

  • 130

     

  • 128

     

(4)

Tr+1=Cr 101651016–r27r/8, represents the (r+1)th term of (51/2+71/8)1016.

As Tr+1 represent an integral term when r is a multiple of 8

i.e., r = 0, 8, 16, 24, ....., 1016

Now, 1016 = 0 + (n – 1)8          [As this form an A.P.]

⇒ n–1=127 ⇒ n=128

So, 128 terms are integral terms.



Q 18 :

For some n≠10, let the coefficients of the 5th, 6th and 7th terms in the binomial expansion of (1+x)n+4 be in A.P. Then the largest coefficient in the expansion of (1+x)n+4 is:          [2025]

  • 35

     

  • 20

     

  • 10

     

  • 70

     

(1)

Coefficient of 5th, 6th and 7th terms of the expansion of (1+x)n+4 are C4n+4, C5n+4 and C6n+4 respectively. As C4n+4, C5n+4 and C6n+4 are in A.P.

⇒ 2×C5n+4=C4n+4+C6n+4

⇒ 25(n–1)=1n(n–1)+130 ⇒25(n–1)=30+n2–n30n(n–1)

⇒ 12n=30+n2–n ⇒ n2–13n+30=0

⇒ (n–3)(n–10)=0 ⇒ n=3          [∵ n≠10]

Here, n + 4 = 3 + 4 = 7

∴   Largest binomial coefficient in expansion (1+x)7 = Coefficient of middle term = C47 or C37=35.



Q 19 :

The least value of n for which the number of integral terms in the Binomial expansion of (73+1112)n is 183, is :          [2025]

  • 2148

     

  • 2184

     

  • 2196

     

  • 2172

     

(2)

General term = Crn(71/3)n–r(111/12)r

                      = Crn(7)n–r3(11)r/12

For integral terms, r must be multiple of 12

∴   r = 12k, k = 0, 1, 2, .....

Total number of values of r = 183

Hence, max r = 12(182) = 2184

Minimum value of n = 2184.



Q 20 :

If the coefficient of x in the expansion of (ax2+bx+c)(1−2x)26 is -56 and the coefficients of x2 and 𝑥3 are both zero, then a+b+c is equal to :            [2026]

  • 1300

     

  • 1500

     

  • 1403

     

  • 1483

     

(3)

(ax2+bx+c)∑r=026Cr26(-2x)r

Coeff. of x2:  a·C026(-2)0+b·C126(-2)+c·C226(-2)2=0

⇒a-52b+1300c=0    ...(1)

Coeff. of x3:  a·C126(-2)+b·C226(-2)2+c·C326(-2)3=0

⇒-52a+1300b-20800c=0    ...(2)

Coeff. of x=-56

⇒b·C026(-2)0+c·C126(-2)1=-56

⇒b-52c=-56    ...(3)

After solving (1), (2) & (3)

a=1300,  b=100,  c=3

⇒a+b+c=1403



Q 21 :

The Middle term in the expansion of (1+x2)4 (when x=2) is ______



(96)

Q 22 :

Let the smallest value of k∈N, for which the coefficient of x3 in (1+x)3+(1+x)4+(1+x)5+...+(1+x)99+(1+kx)100, x≠0, is (43n+1014)(C3100) for some n∈N, be p. Then the value of p + n is:         [2026]

  • 10

     

  • 11

     

  • 12

     

  • 13

     

(2)

Coeff. of x3=C33+C34+C35+...+C399+C3100·k3

                        =C44+C34+C35+...+C399+C3100·k3

Using Crn+Cr–1n=Crn+1

Coeff. of x3=C4100+C3100·k3

                      =100!4!×96!+100!97!×3!k3

                      =100!97!×3!{974+k3}=(43n+1014)C3100         (Given)

⇒ k3–43n=1

If n = 1, then k3 = 44

If n = 2, then k3 = 87

If n = 5, then k3 = 216

⇒ k = 6 (smallest k)

∴  p = 6 and n = 5

Thus, p + n = 11



Q 23 :

In the expansion of (9x–13x)18, x > 0, if the term independent of x is (221)k, then k is equal to:          [2026]

  • 84

     

  • 78

     

  • 168

     

  • 198

     

(1)

We have, (9x–13x)18

General Term,Tr+1=Cr18(9x)18–r(–13x)r

For term independent of x, 1–r–r2=0

⇒T13=18 ⇒ r=12

∴  T13=C1218(9x)6(–13x)12

                   =C618×96×(13)12

                  =18×17×16×15×14×13720×96×196

                     = 18564 = 221k        (Given)

∴ k = 84



Q 24 :

  • 3240

     

  • 3360

     

  • 3480

     

  • 3600

     

(2)

We have, (2x2+1x)10, x≠0

Tr+1=Cr10(2x2)10–r(1x)r

⇒ Tr+1=Cr10(2)10–r·(x)20–3r

We have to find coefficient of x2

∴  20–3r=2 ⇒ 3r=18 ⇒ r=6

∴  Coefficient of x2=C610(2)10–6

⇒ C610(2)4=210×16=3360



Q 25 :

If the coefficients of the middle terms in the binomial expansions of (1+αx)26 and (1–αx)28, α≠0, are equal, then the value of  is:         [2026]

  • 1

     

  • 1413

     

  • 277

     

  • 727

     

(4)

We have, C1326α13=C1428(–α)14

⇒ C1326α13=2814×C1327α14

⇒ α=12C1326C1327=1226!13!13!27!14!13!

             =12×26!13!×14!27!

             =12×26!×14×13!13!×27×26!=727



Q 26 :

If the sum of the coefficients of x7 and x14 in the expansion of (1x3–x4)n, x≠0, is zero, then the value of n is ________.         [2026]



(21)

We have, (1x3–x4)n

General term is given by

Tr+1=Crn(1x3)n–r(–x4)r

              =Crnx–3n+3r+4r(–1)r=Crnx–3n+7r(–1)r

∴  –3n+7r=7 ⇒7r=7+3n

⇒ r7+3n7 ⇒r=1+3n7

∴  –3n+7r=14 ⇒ 7r=14+3n

⇒ r=2+3n7

Since, Coefficient of x7 + Coefficient of x14=0

∴  C(1+3n7)n(–1)1+3n7+C(2+3n7)n(–1)2+3n7=0

⇒ (–1)1+3n7[C(1+3n7)n–C(2+3n7)n]=0

⇒C(1+3n7)n=C(2+3n7)n

⇒ 1+3n7+2+3n7=n ⇒ 7n–6n7=3

n=21

⇒ ((1–x)(1+x+x2)10(1–x)30=∑r=010ar(x(1–x)2)r

⇒ (1+x+x2(1–x)2)10=∑r=010ar(x(1–x)2)r

⇒ ((1–x)2+3x(1–x)2)10=∑r=010ar(x(1–x)2)r

⇒ (1+3x(1–x)2)10=∑r=010ar(x(1–x)2)r

Let ⇒ x(1–x)2=t ⇒ (1+3t)10=∑r=010artr

For a9→Coeff of a9=C910(3)9

For a10→Coeff of a10=C1010(3)10
