$\left[\frac{1}{\sqrt{5 x^{3}+1}-\sqrt{5 x^{3}-1}}\right]^{8}+\left[\frac{1}{\sqrt{5 x^{3}+1}+\sqrt{5 x^{3}-1}}\right]^{8}$
After rationalise the polynomial we get
=$\left[\frac{1}{\sqrt{5 x^{3}+1}-\sqrt{5 x^{3}-1}} \times \frac{\sqrt{5 x^{3}+1}+\sqrt{5 x^{3}-1}}{\sqrt{5 x^{3}+1}+\sqrt{5 x^{3}-1}}\right]^{8}$

=$\left[\frac{\sqrt{5 x^{3}+1}+\sqrt{5 x^{3}-1}}{\left(5 x^{3}+1\right)-\left(5 x^{3}-1\right)}\right]^{8}+\left[\frac{\sqrt{5 x^{3}+1}-\sqrt{5 x^{3}-1}}{\left(5 x^{3}+1\right)-\left(5 x^{3}-1\right)}\right]^{8}$
$=\frac{1}{2^{8}}\left[(\sqrt{5 x^{3}+1}+\sqrt{5 x^{3}-1})^{8}+(\sqrt{5 x^{3}+1}-\sqrt{5 x^{3}-1})^{8}\right]$
=$^{8} C_{0}(\sqrt{5 x^{3}+1})^{8}+^{8} C_{2}(\sqrt{5 x^{3}+1})^{6}(\sqrt{5 x^{3}-1})^{2}$$\frac{1}{2^{8}} \cdot C_{4}(\sqrt{5 x^{3}+1})^{4}(\sqrt{5 x^{3}-1})^{4}+$
$^{\prime} C_{6}\left(\sqrt{5 x^{3}+1}^{2}(\sqrt{5 x^{3}})^{6}+^{6} C_{8}\left(y^{\sqrt{5 x^{3}-1}}\right.\right.$
$\frac{1}{2^{8}}\left[\begin{array}{l}{^{8} C_{0}\left(5 x^{3}+1\right)^{4}+^{8} C_{2}\left(5 x^{3}+1\right)^{3}\left(5 x^{3}-1\right)+8_{C_{4}}} \\ {\left(5 x^{3}+1\right)^{2}\left(5 x^{3}-1\right)^{2}+} \\ {^{8} C_{6}\left(5 x^{3}+1\right)\left(5 x^{3}-1\right)^{3}+8_{C_{4}}\left(5 x^{3}-1\right)^{4}}\end{array}\right]$
So, the degree of polynomial is $12$ , Now, coefficient of $x^{12}=\left[^{8} \mathrm{C}_{0} 5^{4}+^{8} \mathrm{C}_{2} 5^{4}+^{8} \mathrm{C}_{4} 5^{4}+^{8} \mathrm{C}_{6} 5^{4}+^{8} \mathrm{C}_{8} \mathrm{5}^{4}\right]$
$=5^{4} \times \frac{2^{8}}{2}=5^{4} \times 2^{4} \times \frac{2^{2}}{2}$
$=10^{4} \times 2^{3}=8(10)^{4}$

The coefficient of $x^{10}$ in the expansion of $(1 + x)^2 (1 + x^2)^3 ( 1 + x^3)^4$ is euqal to
Answera
$\because(1+x)^{2}=1+2 x+x^{2},$
$\left(1+x^{2}\right)^{3}=1+3 x^{2}+3 x^{4}+x^{6},$
and $\left(1+x^{3}\right)^{4}=1+4 x^{3}+6 x^{6}+4 x^{9}+x^{12}$
So, the possible combinations for $x^{10}$ are:
$x \cdot x^{9}, x \cdot x^{6} \cdot x^{3}, x^{2} \cdot x^{2} \cdot x^{6}, x^{4} \cdot x^{6}$
Corresponding coefficientsare $2 \times 4,2 \times 1 \times 4,1 \times 3 \times 6,3 \times 6$
or $8,8,18,18$
$\therefore$ Sum of the coefficient is
$8+8+18+18=52$
Therefore, the coefficient of $x^{10}$ in the expansion of $(1+x)^{2}\left(1+x^{2}\right)^{3}\left(1+x^{3}\right)^{4}$ is $52$

Answerc
$(C)$ Since we know that,
${(x+a)^{5}+(x-a)^{5}}$
${=2\left[^{5} C_{0} x^{5}+^{5} C_{2} x^{3} \cdot a^{2}+^{5} C_{4} x \cdot a^{4}\right]}$

$=2\left[^{5} \mathrm{C}_{0} \mathrm{x}^{5}+^{5} \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{x}^{3}\left(\mathrm{x}^{3}-1\right)+^{5} \mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{x}\left(\mathrm{x}^{3}-1\right)^{2}\right]$
$\Rightarrow 2\left[x^{5}+10 x^{6}-10 x^{3}+5 x^{7}-10 x^{4}+5 x\right]$

If the number of terms in the expansion of ${\left( {1 - \frac{2}{x} + \frac{4}{{{x^2}}}} \right)^n},x \ne 0$ is $28$ then the sum of the coefficients of all the terms in this expansion, is :
Answerb
Clearly, number of terms in the expansion of
$\left(1-\frac{2}{x}+\frac{4}{x^{2}}\right)^{n}$ is $\frac{(n+2)(n+1)}{2}$ or $^{n+2} C_{2}$
[assuming $\left.\frac{1}{x} \text { and } \frac{1}{x^{2}} \text { distinct }\right]$
$\therefore \frac{(n+2)(n+1)}{2}=28$
$ \Rightarrow $ $(n+2)(n+1)=56=(6+1)(6+2) \Rightarrow n=6$
Hence, sum of coefficients $=(1-2+4)^{6}=3^{6}$

${ = ^8}{{\text{C}}_{\text{r}}}{\left( {2{{\text{x}}^2}} \right)^{8 - {\text{r}}}}{\left( { - \frac{1}{{\text{x}}}} \right)^{\text{r}}} - {\frac{1}{{\text{x}}}^8}{{\text{C}}_{\text{r}}}{\left( {2{{\text{x}}^2}} \right)^{8 - {\text{r}}}}{\left( { - \frac{1}{{\text{x}}}} \right)^r}$

For the term independent of $x,$ we should have
$16-3 r=0,15-3 r=0,21-3 r=0$
From the simplification we get $r=5$ and $r=7$
$\therefore-^{8} C_{5}\left(2^{3}\right)(-1)^{5}-3 \cdot^{8} C_{7} \cdot 2$
$+\left[\frac{8 !}{5 ! 3 !} \times 8\right]-3 \times\left[\frac{8 !}{7 ! 1 !} \times 2\right]$

Let given expansion be
$\mathrm{S}=(1+x)^{1000}+x(1+x)^{999}+x^{2}$
$(1+x)^{998}+\ldots+\ldots+x^{1006}$
Put $1+x=t$
$\mathrm{S}=t^{1000}+x t^{999}+x^{2}(t)^{998}+\ldots+x^{1000}$
This is a $G.P$ with common ratio $\frac{x}{t}$
$S=\frac{t^{1000}\left[1-\left(\frac{x}{t}\right)^{1001}\right]}{1-\frac{x}{t}}$
${ = \frac{{{{(1 + x)}^{1000}}\left[ {1 - {{\left( {\frac{x}{{1 + x}}} \right)}^{1001}}} \right]}}{{1 - \frac{x}{{1 + x}}}}}$
$ = \frac{{{{(1 + x)}^{1001}}\left[ {{{(1 + x)}^{1001}} - {x^{1001}}} \right]}}{{{{(1 + x)}^{1001}}}}$
$=\left[(1+x)^{100 t}-x^{1001}\right]$

Let $(r+1)^{\text {th }}$ and $(r+2)^{\text {th }}$ term has equal coefficient
$\left(2+\frac{x}{3}\right)^{55}=2^{55}\left(1+\frac{x}{6}\right)^{55}$
$(r+1)^{\text {th }}$ term $=2^{55\, 55} \mathrm{C}_{r}\left(\frac{x}{6}\right)^{r}$
Coefficient of $x^{r}$ is $2^{55\, 55} \mathrm{C}_{r} \frac{1}{6^{r}}$
$(r+2)^{t h}$ term $=2^{55\,55} C_{r+1}\left(\frac{x}{6}\right)^{r+1}$
Coefficient of $x^{r+1}$ is $2^{55\, 55} \mathrm{C}_{r+1} \cdot \frac{1}{6^{r+1}}$
Both coefficients are equal
$2^{55\,55} C_{r} \frac{1}{6^{r}}=2^{55\, 55} \mathrm{C}_{r+1} \frac{1}{6^{r+1}}$
$\frac{1}{{r!55 - r!}} = \frac{1}{{r - 1!54 - r!}}.\frac{1}{6}$
$6(r+1)=55-r$
$6 r+6=55-r$
$7 r=49$
$r=7$
$(r+1)=8$
Coefficient of $8^{th}$ and $9^{th}$ terms are equal.

If $1 + {x^4} + {x^5} = \sum\limits_{i = 0}^5 {{a_i}\,(1 + {x})^i,} $ for all $x$ in $R,$ then $a_2$ is
Answera
$1 + {x^4} + {x^5} = \sum\limits_{i = 0}^5 {{a_i}} {(1 + x)^i}$
$ = {a_0} + {a_1}{(1 + x)^1} + {a_2}{(1 + x)^2} + {a_3}{(1 + x)^\beta }$
$ + {a_4}{(1 + x)^4} + {a_5}{(1 + x)^5}$
$ \Rightarrow 1 + {x^4} + {x^5}$
$ = {a_0} + {a_1}(1 + x) + {a_2}\left( {1 + 2x + {x^2}} \right)$
$ + {a_3}\left( {1 + 3x + 3{x^2} + {x^3}} \right)$
$ + {a_4}\left( {1 + 4x + 6{x^2} + 4{x^3} + {x^4}} \right)$
$ + {a_5}(1 + 5x + 10{x^2} + 10{x^3} + 5{x^4} + {x^5})$
$ \Rightarrow 1 + {x^4} + {x^5}$
$ = {a_0} + {a_1} + {a_1}x + {a_2} + 2{a_2}x + {a_2}{x^2}$
$ + {a_3} + 3{a_3}x + 3{a_3}{x^2} + {a_3}{x^3}$
$ + {a_4} + 4{a_4}x + 6{a_4}{x^2} + 4{a_4}{x^3} + {a_4}{x^4}$
$ + {a_5} + 5{a_5}x + 10{a_5}{x^2} + 10{a_5}{x^3} + 5{a_5}{x^4} + {a_5}{x^5}$
$\Rightarrow 1+x^{4}+x^{5}$
$\left(a_{0}+a_{1}+a_{2}+a_{3}+a_{4}+a_{5}\right)$
$=+x\left(a_{1}+2 a_{2}+3 a_{3}+4 a_{4}+5 a_{5}\right)$
$+x^{2}\left(a_{2}+3 a_{3}+6 a_{4}+10 a_{5}\right)+x^{3}\left(a_{3}+4 a_{4}+10 a_{5}\right)$
$+x^{4}\left(a_{4}+5 a_{5}\right)+x^{5}\left(a_{5}\right)$
On comparing the like coefficients, we get
$\boxed{{a_5} = 1}.........(1)$
$\boxed{{a_4} + 5{a_5} = 1}.........(2)$
$\boxed{{a_3} + 4{a_4} + 10{a_5} = 0}.........(3)$
and $\boxed{{a_2} + 3{a_3} + 6{a_4} + 10{a_5} = 0}.........(4)$
from$(1)$ and $(2)$, we get
$\boxed{{a_4} = - 4}.........(5)$
from $(1),(3)$ and $(5),$ we get
$\boxed{{a_3} = + 6}.........(6)$
Now, from $(1)$, $(5)$ and $(6)$, we get
$a_{2}=-4$

- A
$1$
- ✓
$^{10}{C_4}$
- C

- D
$^{253}{C_4}$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $^{10}{C_4}$
b
Given expansion $\left(1+x^{n}+x^{253}\right)^{10}$
Let $x^{1012}=(1)^{a}\left(x^{n}\right)^{b} \cdot\left(x^{253}\right)^{c}$
Here $a, b, c, n$ are all $+ve$ integers and
$a$ $\leq 10, b \leq 10, c \leq 4, n \leq 22, a+b+c=10$
Now $b n+253 c=1012$
$\Rightarrow b n=253(4-c)$
For $c<4$ and $n \leq 22 ; b>10,$ which is not possible.
$\therefore c=4, b=0, a=6$
$\therefore x^{1012}=(1)^{6} \cdot\left(x^{12}\right)^{0} \cdot\left(x^{253}\right)^{4}$
Hence the coefficient of $x^{1012}$
$=\frac{10 !}{6 ! 0 ! 4 !}=10 \mathrm{C}_{4}$

Given expansion is $(1+x)^{101}\left(1-x+x^{2}\right)^{100}$
$=(1+x)(1+x)^{100}\left(1-x+x^{2}\right)^{100}$
$=(1+x)\left[(1+x)\left(1-x+x^{2}\right)\right]^{100}$

d
$T_{r+1}=^{15} C_{r}\left(x^{2}\right)^{15-r} \cdot\left(2 x^{-1}\right)^r$
$=15 \mathrm{C}_{r} \times(2)^{r} \times x^{30-3r}$
For independent term, $30-3 r=0$
$\Rightarrow r=10$
Hence the term independent of $x$.
$\mathrm{T}_{11}=^{15} \mathrm{C}_{10} \times(2)^{10}$
For term involve $x^{15}, 30-3 r=15$
$ \Rightarrow r=5$
Hence coefficient of $x^{15}=^{15} C_{5} \times(2)^{5}$
Required ratio
$ = \frac{{{\text{15}}{{\text{C}}_5} \times {{(2)}^5}}}{{15{C_{10}} \times {{(2)}^{10}}}} = \frac{{\frac{{15!}}{{10!5!}}}}{{\frac{{15!}}{{5!10!}} \times {{(2)}^5}}}$

(c) ${(1 + x)^m}{(1 - x)^n}$ $ = \left( {1 + mx + \frac{{m(m - 1){x^2}}}{{2!}} + ....} \right)\,\left( {1 - nx + \frac{{n(n - 1)}}{{2!}}{x^2} - ....} \right)$
$ = 1 + (m - n)x + \left[ {\frac{{{n^2} - n}}{2} - mn + \frac{{({m^2} - m)}}{2}} \right]{x^2}$+........
Given, $m -n = 3$ or $n = m -3$
Hence $\frac{{{n^2} - n}}{2} - mn + \frac{{{m^2} - m}}{2} = - 6$
==> $\frac{{(m - 3)(m - 4)}}{2} - m(m - 3) + \frac{{{m^2} - m}}{2} = - 6$
==> ${m^2} - 7m + 12 - 2{m^2} + 6m + {m^2} - m + 12 = 0$
==> $ - 2m + 24 = 0\,\,\, \Rightarrow m = 12$

If the coefficient of the second, third and fourth terms in the expansion of ${(1 + x)^n}$ are in $A.P.$, then $n$ is equal to
Answera
(a) In the expansion of ${(1 + x)^n}$, it is given that $^n{C_1}{,^n}{C_2}{,^n}{C_3}$ are in $A.P.$
==> ${2.^n}{C_2} = {\,^n}{C_1} + {\,^n}{C_3}$
==> $2.\frac{{n(n - 1)}}{{1.2}} = \frac{n}{1} + \frac{{n(n - 1)(n - 2)}}{{1.2.3}}$
==> $6(n - 1) = 6 + (n - 2)(n - 1)$
==> ${n^2} - 9n + 14 = 0$
==> $n = 2$or $n = 7$.
But $n = 2$ is not acceptable because, when $n=2$, there are only three terms in the expansion of ${(1 + x)^2}$, $\therefore $ $n = 7$.

If the sum of the coefficients in the expansion of ${({\alpha ^2}{x^2} - 2\alpha {\rm{ }}x + 1)^{51}}$ vanishes, then the value of $\alpha $ is
Answerc
(c) The sum of the coefficients of the polynomial ${({\alpha ^2}{x^2} - 2\alpha \,x + 1)^{51}}$is obtained by putting $x = 1$ in ${({\alpha ^2}{x^2} - 2\alpha \,x + 1)^{51}}$.
Therefore by hypothesis ${({\alpha ^2} - 2\alpha + 1)^{51}} = 0 \Rightarrow \alpha = 1$

(a) Since $(5\sqrt 5 - 11)\,(5\sqrt 5 + 11) = 4$
==> $5\sqrt 5 - 11 = \frac{4}{{5\sqrt 5 + 11}}$,,$\,\,\,\,0 < 5\sqrt 5 - 11 < 1 \Rightarrow \,0 < {(5\sqrt 5 - 11)^{2n + 1}} < 1$ for positive integral $n$.
Again, ${(5\sqrt 5 + 11)^{2n + 1}} - {(5\sqrt 5 - 11)^{2n + 1}}$
$ = 2\left\{ {^{2n + 1}{C_1}{{(5\sqrt 5 )}^{2n}}.11 + {\,^{2n + 1}}{C_3}{{(5\sqrt 5 )}^{2n - 2}}} \right.$
$\left. { \times {{11}^3} + ....{ + ^{2n + 1}}{C_{2n + 1}}{{11}^{2n + 1}}} \right\}$
$ = 2\,\left\{ {^{2n + 1}{C_1}{{(125)}^n}.11{ + ^{2n + 1}}} \right.{C_3}{(125)^{n - 1}}{11^3} + ..$
$\left. {....{ + ^{2n + 1}}{C_{2n + 1}}{{11}^{2n + 1}}} \right\}$
$= 2k$, (for some positive integer $k$)
Let $f' = {(5\sqrt 5 - 11)^{2n + 1}}$, then $[R] + f - f' = 2k$
==> $f - f' = 2k - [R]\,\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\,f - f'$ is an integer.
But, $0 \le f < 1;\,0 < f' < 1\,\,\, \Rightarrow - 1 < f - f' < 1$
==> $f - f' = 0$(integer) ==> $f = f'$
$\therefore \,\,Rf = Rf' = {(5\sqrt 5 + 11)^{2n + 1}}{(5\sqrt 5 - 11)^{2n + 1}}$
$={[{(5\sqrt 5 )^2} - {11^2}]^{2n + 1}} = {4^{2n + 1}}$.

d
(d) We have $C_0^2 - 2C_1^2 + 3C_2^2 - ..... + {( - 1)^n}(n + 1)C_n^2$
$ = [C_0^2 - C_1^2 + C_2^2 - .... + {( - 1)^n}C_n^2] - [C_1^2 - 2C_2^2 + 3C_3^2.... - {( - 1)^n}nC_n^2]$
=${( - 1)^{n/2}}\frac{{n!}}{{(n/2)!(n/2)!}} - {( - 1)^{(n/2) - 1}}.\frac{1}{2}n\,{\,^n}{C_{n/2}}$
=${( - 1)^{n/2}}.\frac{{n!}}{{(n/2)!(n/2)!}}.\left( {1 + \frac{n}{2}} \right)$
$\therefore$ the value of the given expression is
$\frac{{2(n/2)\,!\,(n/2)!}}{{n!}} \times {( - 1)^{n/2}}.\frac{{(n)!}}{{(n/2)!(n/2)!}}\left( {1 + \frac{n}{2}} \right)$

$3, 6$
- D
$1, 2$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $2, 4$
a
(a) As given ${(1 + ax)^n} = 1 + 8x + 24{x^2} + ....$
==> $1 + \frac{n}{1}ax + \frac{{n(n - 1)}}{{1.2}}{a^2}{x^2} + .... = 1 + 8x + 24{x^2} + ....$
$ \Rightarrow \,\,\,\,na = 8,\frac{{n(n - 1)}}{{1.2}}{a^2} = 24 \Rightarrow na(n - 1)a = 48$
==> $8(8 - a) = 48$==> $8 - a = 6\,\, \Rightarrow a = 2\,\, \Rightarrow n = 4$.

$\frac{{405}}{{256}}$
- B
$\frac{{504}}{{259}}$
- C
$\frac{{450}}{{263}}$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: A. $\frac{{405}}{{256}}$
a
(a) In the expansion of ${\left( {\frac{x}{2} - \frac{3}{{{x^2}}}} \right)^{10}}$,
the general term is ${T_{r + 1}} = {\,^{10}}{C_r}{\left( {\frac{x}{2}} \right)^{10 - r}}.\,\,{\left( { - \frac{3}{{{x^2}}}} \right)^r}$
${ = ^{10}}{C_r}{( - 1)^r}.\frac{{{3^r}}}{{{2^{10 - r}}}}{x^{10 - r - 2r}}$
Here, the exponent of $x$ is $10 - 3r = 4 \Rightarrow r = 2$
$\therefore \,\,\,\,{T_{2 + 1}}{ = ^{10}}{C_2}{\left( {\frac{x}{{\rm{2}}}} \right)^8}{\left( { - \frac{3}{{{x^2}}}} \right)^2}$
= $\frac{{10.9}}{{1.2}}.\frac{1}{{{2^8}}}{.3^2}.{x^4}$
= $\frac{{405}}{{256}}{x^4}$
$\therefore $ The required coefficient $ = \frac{{405}}{{256}}$.

- A
${99^{50}} + {100^{50}}$
- B
- ✓
${101^{50}}$
- D
AnswerCorrect option: C. ${101^{50}}$
c
(c) We have ${101^{50}} = {(100 + 1)^{50}} = {100^{50}} + {50.100^{49}} + \frac{{50.49}}{{2.1}}{100^{48}} + ....$ …..$(i)$
and ${99^{50}} = {(100 - 1)^{50}} = {100^{50}} - {50.100^{49}} + \frac{{50.\,49}}{{2.1}}{100^{48}} - ..…..(ii)$
Subtracting $(ii)$ from $(i)$, we get
${101^{50}} - {99^{50}} = {100^{50}} + 2\frac{{50.49.48}}{{1.2.3}}{100^{47}} > {100^{50}}$
Hence ${101}^{50}$ > ${100}^{50}$+${99}^{50}$.

Now $\frac{{{a_1}}}{{{a_1} + {a_2}}} + \frac{{{a_3}}}{{{a_3} + {a_4}}} = \frac{{^n{C_r}}}{{^n{C_r} + {\,^n}{C_{r + 1}}}}$$ + \frac{{^n{C_{r + 2}}}}{{^n{C_{r + 2}} + {\,^n}{C_{r + 3}}}}$
$ = \frac{{^n{C_r}}}{{^{n + 1}{C_{r + 1}}}} + \frac{{^n{C_{r + 2}}}}{{^{n + 1}{C_{r + 3}}}}$$ = \frac{{^n{C_r}}}{{\frac{{n + 1}}{{r + 1}}{\,^n}{C_r}}} + \frac{{^n{C_{r + 2}}}}{{\frac{{n + 1}}{{r + 3}}{\,^n}{C_{r + 2}}}}$
$({^n}{C_r} = \frac{n}{r}{\,^{n - 1}}{C_{r - 1}})$
= $\frac{{r + 1}}{{n + 1}} + \frac{{r + 3}}{{n + 1}} = \frac{{2(r + 2)}}{{n + 1}}$
$ = 2\frac{{^n{C_{r + 1}}}}{{^{n + 1}{C_{r + 2}}}} = 2\frac{{^n{C_{r + 1}}}}{{^n{C_{r + 1}} + {\,^n}{C_{r + 2}}}} = \frac{{2{a_2}}}{{{a_2} + {a_3}}}$

${13.2^{14}} + 1$
- C
${13.2^{14}} - 1$

AnswerCorrect option: B. ${13.2^{14}} + 1$
b
(b) We have ${(1 + x)^{15}} = {C_0} + {C_1}x + {C_2}{x^2}. + .... + {C_{15}}{x^{15}}$
==> $\frac{{{{(1 + x)}^{15}} - 1}}{x} = {C_1} + {C_2}x + .... + {C_{15}}{x^{14}}$
Differentiating both sides with respect to $ x$,
we get $ = \frac{{x.15{{(1 + x)}^{14}} - {{(1 + x)}^{15}} + 1}}{{{x^2}}}$
= ${C_2} + 2{C_3}x + ...... + {\,^{14}}{C_{15}}{x^{13}}$
Putting $x = 1$,
we get ${C_2} + 2{C_3} + .... + 14{C_{15}} = {15.2^{14}} - {2^{15}} + 1 = {13.2^{14}} + 1.$
