Let ${ }^{n} C_{r}$ denote the binomial coefficient of $x^{r}$ in the expansion of $(1+ x )^{ n }.$

If $\sum_{ k =0}^{10}\left(2^{2}+3 k \right){ }^{ n } C _{ k }=\alpha .3^{10}+\beta \cdot 2^{10}, \alpha, \beta \in R$ then $\alpha+\beta$ is equal to ....... .

  • $19$
  • B
    $21$
  • C
    $17$
  • D
    $13$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$19$
a
Instead of ${ }^{n} C_{k}$ it must be ${ }^{10} C_{k}$ i.e.

$\sum_{k=0}^{10}\left(2^{2}+3 k\right){ }^{10} C _{ k }=\alpha .3^{10}+\beta .2^{10}$

$LHS =4 \sum_{ k =0}^{10}{ }^{10} C _{ k }+3 \sum_{ k =0}^{10} k \cdot \frac{10}{ k } \cdot{ }^{9} C _{ k -1}$

$=4.2^{10}+3.10 .2^{9}$

$=19.2^{10}=\alpha .3^{10}+\beta .2^{10}$

$\Rightarrow \alpha=0, \beta=19 \Rightarrow \alpha+\beta=19$

Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{b^{2}}{3 a^{3}}$
a
$(a-b)^{-1}+(a-2 b)^{-1}+\ldots \ldots+(a-n b)^{1}$

$=\frac{1}{a} \sum_{r=1}^{n}\left(1-\frac{r b}{a}\right)^{-1}$ $=\frac{1}{a} \sum_{r=1}^{n}\left\{\left(1+\frac{r b}{a}+\frac{r^{2} b^{2}}{a^{2}}\right)+(\right.$ terms to be neglected $\left.)\right\}$

$=\frac{1}{a}\left[n+\frac{n(n+1)}{2} \cdot \frac{b}{a}+\frac{n(n+1)(2 n+1)}{6} \cdot \frac{b^{2}}{a^{2}}\right]$

$=\frac{1}{a}\left[n^{3}\left(\frac{b^{2}}{3 a^{2}}\right)+\ldots\right]$

Let $P=\left(1+\frac{1}{10^{100}}\right)^{10^{100}}$,

Let $x=10^{100}$

$\Rightarrow P=\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)^{x}$

$\Rightarrow P=1+1+\left(\frac{1}{\lfloor2}-\frac{1}{\lfloor2 x^{2}}\right)+\left(\frac{1}{\lfloor3}-\ldots\right)+\ldots \text { so on }$

$\Rightarrow P=2+\left(\text { Positive value less than } \frac{1}{\lfloor 2}+\frac{1}{\lfloor 3}+\frac{1}{\lfloor 4}+\ldots\right)$

$\Rightarrow P \in(2,3)$

Also $e=1+\frac{1}{\lfloor1}+\frac{1}{\lfloor2}+\frac{1}{\lfloor3}+\frac{1}{\lfloor4}+\ldots$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\lfloor2}+\frac{1}{\lfloor 3}+\frac{1}{\lfloor 4}+\ldots=\mathrm{e}-2$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{P}=2+($ Positive value less than $\mathrm{e}-2)$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{P} \in(2,3)$

$\Rightarrow$ least integer value of $\mathrm{P}$ is $3$

Answer
Correct option: A.
$26$
a
$\left(3^{1 / 4}+5^{1 / 8}\right)^{60}$

${ }^{60} C _{ r }\left(3^{1 / 4}\right)^{60- r } \cdot\left(5^{1 / 8}\right)^{ r }$

${ }^{60} C _{ r }(3)^{\frac{60- r }{4}} .5^{\frac{ r }{8}}$

For rational terms.

$\frac{r}{8}=k ; \quad 0 \leq r \leq 60$

$0 \leq 8 k \leq 60$

$0 \leq k \leq \frac{60}{8}$

$0 \leq k \leq 7.5$

$k =0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7$

$\frac{60-8 k }{4}$ is always divisible by $4$ for all value of $k$

Total rational terms $=8$; Total terms $=61$; irrational terms $=53$ ;$n -1=53-1=52$

$52$ is divisible by $26$

In the expansion of $\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\cos \theta}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{x} \sin \theta}\right)^{16},$ if $\ell_{1}$ is the least value of the term independent of $x$ when $\frac{\pi}{8} \leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{4}$ and $\ell_{2}$ is the least value of the term independent of $x$ when $\frac{\pi}{16} \leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{8},$ then the ratio $\ell_{2}: \ell_{1}$ is equal to
  • A
    $1 : 8$
  • B
    $1 : 16$
  • C
    $8 : 1$
  • $16 : 1$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$16 : 1$
d
$\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{r}+1}=16 \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}}{\cos \theta}\right)^{16-\mathrm{r}}\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{x} \sin \theta}\right)^{\mathrm{r}}$

$=^{16} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}(\mathrm{x})^{16-2 \mathrm{r}} \times \frac{1}{(\cos \theta)^{16-\mathrm{r}}(\sin \theta)^{\mathrm{r}}}$

For independent of $x ; 16-2 r=0 \Rightarrow r=8$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{T}_{9}=^{16}\mathrm{C}_{8} \frac{1}{\cos ^{8} \theta \sin ^{8} \theta}$

$=^{16} \mathrm{C}_{8} \frac{2^{8}}{(\sin 2 \theta)^{8}}$

for $\theta \in\left[\frac{\pi}{8}, \frac{\pi}{4}\right] \ell_{1}$ is least for $\theta_{1}=\frac{\pi}{4}$

for $\theta \in\left[\frac{\pi}{16}, \frac{\pi}{8}\right] \ell_{2}$ is least for $\theta_{2}=\frac{\pi}{8}$

$\frac{\ell_{2}}{\ell_{1}}=\frac{\left(\sin 2 \theta_{1}\right)^{8}}{\left(\sin 2 \theta_{2}\right)^{8}}=(\sqrt{2})^{8}=\frac{16}{1}$

Let $\alpha>0, \beta>0$ be such that $\alpha^{3}+\beta^{2}=4 .$ If the maximum value of the term independent of $x$ in the binomial expansion of $\left(\alpha x^{\frac{1}{9}}+\beta x^{-\frac{1}{6}}\right)^{10}$ is $10 k$ then $\mathrm{k}$ is equal to
  • A
    $176$
  • $336$
  • C
    $352$
  • D
    $84$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$336$
b
Let $t_{\mathrm{r}}+1$ denotes

$\mathrm{r}+1 \mathrm{th}$ term of $\left(\alpha \mathrm{x}^{\frac{1}{9}}+\beta \mathrm{x}^{-\frac{1}{6}}\right)^{10}$

$t_{\mathrm{r}+1}={ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}} \alpha^{10-\mathrm{r}}(\mathrm{x})^{\frac{10-\mathrm{r}}{9}} \cdot \beta^{\mathrm{r}} \mathrm{x}^{-\frac{\mathrm{r}}{6}}$

$={ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}} \alpha^{10-\mathrm{r}} \beta^{\mathrm{r}}(\mathrm{x})^{\frac{10-\mathrm{r}}{9}-\frac{\mathrm{r}}{6}}$

If $t_{\mathrm{r}}+1$ is independent of $\mathrm{x}$

$\frac{10-r}{9}-\frac{r}{6}=0 \Rightarrow r=4$

maximum value of $\mathrm{t}_{5}$ is $10 \mathrm{K}$ (given)

$\Rightarrow{ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_{4} \alpha^{6} \beta^{4}$ is maximum

By $\mathrm{AM} \geq \mathrm{GM}$ (for positive numbers)

$\frac{\frac{\alpha^{3}}{2}+\frac{\alpha^{3}}{2}+\frac{\beta^{2}}{2}+\frac{\beta^{2}}{2}}{4} \geq\left(\frac{\alpha^{6} \beta^{4}}{16}\right)^{\frac{1}{4}}$

$\Rightarrow \alpha^{6} \beta^{4} \leq 16$

So, $10 \mathrm{K}={ }^{10} \mathrm{C}_{4} 16$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{K}=336$

Termof $x^{-8}$ in $\left(2 x^{2} \frac{3}{x^{3}}\right)^{6}$

$\mathrm{T}_{r+1}$ in $\left(2 \mathrm{x}^{2}-\frac{3}{\mathrm{x}^{2}}\right)^{6}$ will be

$\mathrm{T}_{r+1}=^{6} \mathrm{C}_{r}\left(2 \mathrm{x}^{2}\right)^{6-\mathrm{f}}\left(-\frac{3}{\mathrm{x}^{2}}\right)^{r}$

$=^{6} \mathrm{C}_{r} 2^{6-5}(-1)^{r} \times 3^{r} \times \mathrm{x}^{12-2 r-2 r}$

Case $I:$ For term independent of $x, 12-4 r=0$ $\Rightarrow r=3$

$T_{4}=^{6} C_{3} \times 2^{3} \times 3^{3} x^{6}=-20 \times 2^{3} \times 3^{3}$

case $II :$ For term of $x^{-8}$

${12-4 r=-8}$

${4 r=20 \Rightarrow r=5}$

$T_{6}=^{6} C_{5} \cdot 2^{1}(-1) \cdot 3^{5} \cdot x^{-8}$

Required Answer $=\frac{1}{60} \times(-20) 2^{3} \times 3^{3}-\frac{1}{81} \times 6 \times 2 \times(-1) \times 3^{5}$

$=-72+36=-36$

Hence the correct answer is option $(B).$

If ${\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {\left( {\frac{{{}^{20}{C_{i - 1}}}}{{{}^{20}{C_i} + {}^{20}{C_{i - 1}}}}} \right)} ^3}\, = \frac{k}{{21}}$, then $k$ equals
  • A
    $400$
  • B
    $50$
  • C
    $200$
  • $100$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$100$
d
${\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{20} {\left( {\frac{{{\,^{20}}{C_{I - 1}}}}{{^{20}{C_1} + {\,^{20}}{C_{I - 1}}}}} \right)} ^3}$

Now $\frac{{^{20}{C_{I - 1}}}}{{^{20}{C_1} + {\,^{20}}{C_{I - 1}}}} = \frac{{^{20}{C_{I - 1}}}}{{^{20}{C_1}}} = \frac{1}{{21}}$

Let given sum be $S$, so

$S = \sum\limits_{I = 1}^{20} {\frac{{{{\left( i \right)}^3}}}{{{{21}^3}}}}  = \frac{1}{{{{(21)}^3}}}{\left( {\frac{{20.21}}{2}} \right)^2} = \frac{{100}}{{21}}$

Given $S = \frac{k}{{21}} \Rightarrow k = 100$

  • A
    $(25)^2$
  • $2^{25} -1$
  • C
    $2^{24}$
  • D
    $2^{25}$

Correct option: B.
$2^{25} -1$
b
$\sum\limits_{r = 1}^{25} {\frac{{\left| {50} \right.}}{{\left| r \right.\left| {50} \right. - r}} \times \frac{{\left| {50 - r} \right.}}{{\left| {25 - r\left| {25} \right.} \right.}}} $

$ = \sum\limits_{r = 1}^{25} {\frac{{\left| {50} \right.}}{{\left| {r\left| {25 - r\left| {25} \right.} \right.} \right.}}} $

$ = \frac{{\left| {50} \right.}}{{\left| {25} \right.}}\sum\limits_{r = 1}^{25} {\frac{1}{{\left| {r\left| {25 - r} \right.} \right.}}} $

$ = \frac{{\left| {50} \right.}}{{\left| {25\left| {25} \right.} \right.}}\sum\limits_{r = 1}^{25} {{\,^{25}}{C_r} = {\,^{50}}{C_{25}}} \left( {{2^{25}} - 1} \right)$

If $^{20}{C_1} + \left( {{2^2}} \right){\,^{20}}{C_3} + \left( {{3^2}} \right){\,^{20}}{C_3} + \left( {{2^2}} \right) + ..... + \left( {{{20}^2}} \right){\,^{20}}{C_{20}} = A\left( {{2^\beta }} \right)$, then the ordered pair $(A, \beta )$ is equal to
  • $(420, 18)$
  • B
    $(380, 18)$
  • C
    $(420, 19)$
  • D
    $(380, 19)$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$(420, 18)$
a
$(1+x)^{20}=^{20} C_{0}+^{20} C_{1}+^{20} C_{2} x^{2}+\ldots \ldots+^{20} C_{20} x^{20}.........(i)$

Differential equation w.r.t. $x$

$20(1+x)^{19}=$

$^{20} C_{1} \cdot 1+2.^{20} C_{2} x+\ldots \ldots+20^{20} C_{20} x^{19}.........(ii)$

Multiply equation $(2)$ by $x$

$20x \times(1+x)^{19}=$

$^{20} \mathrm{C}_{1} \mathrm{x}+2 \cdot^{20} \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{x}^{2}+\ldots \ldots+20^{20} \mathrm{C}_{20} \mathrm{x}^{20}.........(iii)$

Differential equation $(3)$ w.r.t. $x$

$20\left[(1+x)^{19}+19 x(1+x)^{18}\right]=$

$20 \times ({2^{19}} + {19.2^{18}}) = {1^2}{\,^{20}}{C_1} + {2^2}{\,^{20}}{C_2}+ ...... + {({20^2})^{20}}{C_{20}}$

Put $x=1$ in equation $(iv)$

$20\left(2^{10}+19.2^{18}\right)=1^{200} \mathrm{C}_{1}+2^{2} \mathrm{C}_{2}+\ldots \ldots+\left(20^{2}\right)^{20} \mathrm{C}_{20}$

$=20 \times 2^{18}(2+19)=20 \times 21 \times 2^{18}$

$=420 \times 2^{18}$

$A=420, \beta=18$

Hence correct Option is $(A)$.
