-10

SOLUTION

Solution : D

T3nC2(x)n2(12x)2 and T4nC3(x)n3(12x)3

But according to the condition,

n(n1)×3×2×1×8n(n1)(n2)×2×1×4 = 12 ⇒ n = -10

Question 10

Find the value of 
(183+73+318725)36+62432+15814+20278+15916+6332+64

 

A.

1

B.

5

C.

25

D.

100

SOLUTION

Solution : A

The numerator is of the form 

a3 + b3+3ab(a+b)=(a+b)3

∴ N' = (18+7)3 = 253

∴ D' = 36+6C13521+6C23422+6C33323+6C43224+6C53125+6C626

This is clearly the expansion of (3+2)6=56=(25)3

ND=(25)3(25)3=1

A.

7

B.

8

C.

9

D.

None of these

SOLUTION

Solution : B

(n+1)(n+2)2 = 45 or n2 + 3n - 88 = 0   n = 8 .

Question 12

The greatest integer less than or equal to (2+1)6 is

 

A.

196

B.

197

C.

198

D.

199

SOLUTION

Solution : B

Let (2+1)6 = k + f, where k is integral part and f

the fraction (0 ≤ f < 1).

Let  (21)6 = f, (0 < f < 1),

Since 0 < (2 - 1) < 1

Now, k + f + f' =  (2+1)6 +  (21)6

= 2{6C0.23+6C2.22+6C4.2+6C6} = 198 ..........(i)

∴ f + f' = 198 - k = an integer

But, 0 ≤ f < 1 and 0 < f' < 1  ⇒ 0 < (f + f') < 2

⇒ f + f' = 1, ( ∵ f + f' is an integer)

∴ By (i), l = 198 - (f + f') = 198 - 1 = 197.

Question 13

The number of terms which are free from radical signs in the expansion of (y15+x110)55 is

A.

5

B.

6

C.

7

D.

None of these

SOLUTION

Solution : B

In the expansion of (y15+x110)55, the general 

term is

Tr+155Cr(y15)55r(x110)r55Cry11r5xr10.

This Tr+1 will be independent of radicals if the exponents  r5 and  r10 are integers, for

0 ≤ r ≤ 55 which is possible only when

r  = 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50.

∴ There are six terms viz. T1,T11,T21,T31,T41,T51

which are independent of radicals.

Question 14

In the expansion of (512+718)1024, the number of integral terms is

A.

128

B.

129

C.

130

D.

131

SOLUTION

Solution : B

Here n = 1024 = 210, a power of 2, where as the 

power of 7 is  18 = 23

Now first term 1024C0(512)1024 = 5512 (integer)

And after 8 terms, the 9th term =  1024C8(512)1016 (718)8  = an integer

Again, 17th term =  1024C16(512)1008 (718)16  

                                 = An integer.
Continuing like this, we get an A.P. 1, 9, 17,..........., 1025,

because 1025th term = the last term in the expansion 

=  1024C1024(718)1024 = 7128 (an integer) 

If n is the number of terms of above A.P. we have 

1025 = Tn = 1 + (n - 1)8  ⇒ n = 129.

Question 15

If n is positive integer and three consecutive coefficients in the expansion of (1+x)n are in the ratio 6 : 33 : 110, then n =

A.

4

B.

6

C.

12

D.

16

SOLUTION

Solution : C

Let the consecutive coefficient of (1+x)n are

nCr1nCrnCr+1

By condition, nCr1nCrnCr+1 = 6 : 33 : 110

Now nCr1nCr = 6 : 33

 2n - 13r + 2 = 0                             ..............(i)

and nCrnCr+1 = 33: 110

3n - 13r - 10 = 0                            ...............(ii)

Solving (i) and (ii), we get n = 12 and r = 2.

Aliter: We take first n = 4 [By alternate (a)] but 

(a) does not hold. Similarity (b).

So alternate (c), n = 12 gives

(1+x)12 =[1+12x+12.112.1 x212.11.103.2.1x3+.........]

So coefficient of II, III and IV terms are 

12,6×11,2×11×10.

So, 12:6×11:2×11×10=6:33:110.
