MCQ
For an integer $\mathrm{n} \geq 2$, if the arithmetic mean of all coefficients in the binomial expansion of $(x+y)^{2 n-3}$ is 16 , then the distance of the point $\mathrm{P}\left(2 \mathrm{n}-1, \mathrm{n}^{2}-4 \mathrm{n}\right)$ from the line $x+y=8$ is :
  • A
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $2 \sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $5 \sqrt{2}$
  • $3 \sqrt{2}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$3 \sqrt{2}$
(D) $3 \sqrt{2}$
No. of terms in $(x+y)^{(2 n-3)} \Rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{c}(2 n-3+1) \\ (2 n-2)\end{array}\right.$
$\therefore$ sum of all coefficients $=2^{2 n-3}$
(Put $\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{y}=1$ )
$\therefore$ Arithmetic mean of all coefficients
$=\left(\frac{2^{2 n-3}}{2 n-2}\right)=16$
$\Rightarrow 2^{2 \mathrm{n}-3}=2^{5}(\mathrm{n}-1) \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}=5$
$\therefore \mathrm{P}\left(2 \mathrm{n}-1, \mathrm{n}^{2}-4 \mathrm{n}\right)=(9,5)$
Image
$x+y=8$
$\therefore \mathrm{PM}=\left|\frac{9+5-8}{\sqrt{2}}\right|=\frac{6}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{3 \times 2}{\sqrt{2}}=3 \sqrt{2}$
