MCQ 41 Mark
In the expansion of $\Big(\sqrt[3]4+\frac{1}{\sqrt[4]{6}}\Big)^{20},$
  • A
    The number of rational terms = 4
  • B
    The number of irrational terms = 19
  • C
    The middle term is irrational
  • D
    The number of irrational terms = 17
Answer
  1. The number of irrational terms = 19

Solution:

$\text{T}_{\text{r}+1}={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}4\frac{20-\text{r}}{3}6\frac{-\text{r}}{4}$

$={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}2\frac{40-2\text{r}}{3}-\frac{\text{r}}{4}3-\frac{\text{r}}{4}$

$={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}2\frac{100-11\text{r}}{12}3-\frac{\text{r}}{4}$

There are total of 21 terms.

Hence, we get rational terms for r = 20, 8

Hence there are in total 21 - 2 = 19 irrational terms.

The middle term is at r = 10 which is irrational.

MCQ 51 Mark
The largest term in the expansion of (3 + 2x)50, when $\text{x}=\frac{1}{5}$ is:
    • A
      6th term
    • B
      7th term
    • C
      8th term
    • D
      None of the above
    Answer
    1. 6th term

    Solution:

    The greatest term in the expansion of (x + y)n is the kth term. Where $\text{k}=\frac{[(\text{n}+1)\text{y}]}{[\text{x}+\text{y}] }...(1)$

    On comparing the given expression with the general form, x = 3, y = 2x, n = 50

    Now, substitute the values in the given expression, we get

    Hence, kth term $= \frac{\big[(50+1)(2\text{x})\big]}{[3+2\text{x}]}$

    When $\text{x}=\frac{1}{5}$

    Kth term $ =\frac{\Big[(51)\big(2\big(\frac{1}{5}\big)\big)\Big]}{\Big[3+2\big(\frac{1}{5}\big)\Big]}=6$

    Hence, the 6th term is the largest term in the expansion of (3 + 2x)50, when $\text{x}=\frac{1}{5}.$

    If the middle term of $\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}+\text{x}\sin\text{x}\Big)^{10}$ is equal to $7\frac{7}{8},$ then value of x is:
      Answer
      1. $\text{n}\pi+(-1)^\text{n}\frac{\pi}{6}.$

      Solution:

      Given expression is $\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}+\text{x}\sin\text{x}\Big)^{10}$

      Since, n = 10 (even), so there is only one middle term which is, 6th term.

      $\therefore\text{T}_6=\text{T}_{5+1}=\ ^{10}\text{C}_5\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)^{10-5}(\text{x}\sin\text{x})^5$

      $\Rightarrow\frac{63}{8}=\ ^{10}\text{C}_5\sin^5\text{x}$ (given)

      $\Rightarrow\frac{63}{8 }=252\times\sin^5\text{x}\Rightarrow\sin^5\text{x}=\frac{1}{32}$ $\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}=\sin\frac{\pi}{6}$

      $\Rightarrow\text{x}=\text{n}\pi+(-1)^\text{n}\frac{\pi}{6}$

      Find the sum of coefficient of middle terms of the expansion $\Big(3\text{x}-\frac{\text{x}^3}{6}\Big)^7:$
      Answer
      1. $\frac{595}{48}$

      Solution

      Total number of terms are 8.

      So, middle term will be the 4th and 5th term.

      $\therefore\text{t}_{3+1}=^7\text{C}_3(-1)^{3}(3\text{x})^{7-3}\big(\frac{\text{x}^3}{6}\big)^3=-\frac{105\text{x}^{13}}{8}$

      $\therefore\text{t}_{4+1}=^7\text{C}_4(-1)^{4}(3\text{x})^{7-4}\big(\frac{\text{x}^3}{6}\big)^4=\frac{35\text{x}^{15}}{48}$

      So, $-\frac{105}{8}+\frac{35}{48}=-\frac{595}{48}$

        The two successive terms in the expansion of (1 + x)24 whose coefficients are in the ratio 1 : 4 are:

          Answer
          1. 5th and 6th.

          Solution:

          Let the two successive terms in the expansion of (1 + x)24 be (r + 1)(r + 2)th terms.

          Now, $\text{T}_{\text{r}+1}=\ ^{24}\text{C}_\text{r}\text{x}^\text{r}\ \text{and}\ \text{T}_{\text{r}+2}=\ ^{24}\text{C}_{\text{r}+1}\text{x}^{\text{r}+1}$

          Given that, $\frac{^{24}\text{C}_\text{r}}{^{24}\text{C}_{\text{r}+1}}=\frac{1}{4}$

          $\Rightarrow\frac{\frac{(24)!}{\text{r}!(24-\text{r})!}}{\frac{(24)!}{(\text{r}+1)!(24-\text{r}-1)!}}=\frac{1}{4}$ $\Rightarrow\frac{(\text{r}+1)\text{r}!(23-\text{r})!}{\text{r}!(24-\text{r})(23-\text{r})!}=\frac{1}{4}\Rightarrow\frac{\text{r}+1}{24-\text{r}}=\frac{1}{4}$

          $\Rightarrow4\text{r}+4=24-\text{r}\Rightarrow\text{r}=4$

          $\therefore\text{T}_{4+1}=\text{T}_5\ \text{and}\ \text{T}_{4+2}=\text{T}_6$

          Hence. 5th and 6th terms.

            Answer
            1. $2.$

            Solution:

            Given expression is (1 + x)2n

            $\text{T}_{\text{r}+1}=\ ^{2\text{n}}\text{C}_\text{r}\text{x}^\text{r}$

            $\therefore$ Coefficient of xn = 2nCn = A (Given)

            In the expression of (1 + x)2n - 1

            $\text{T}_{\text{r}+1}=2^{\text{n}-1}\text{C}_\text{x}=\text{B}$ Given

            So, $\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}=\frac{^{2\text{n}}\text{C}_\text{n}}{^{2\text{n}-1}\text{C}_\text{n}}=\frac{^{2\text{n}}\text{C}_\text{n}}{^{2\text{n}-1}\text{C}_\text{n}}=\frac{2}{1}$

            Hence, the correct option is (b).

            The coefficient of xn in the expansion of (1 + x)2n and (1 + x)2n - 1 are in the ratio.

              Answer
              1. 2 : 1.

              Solution:

              General Term $\text{T}_{\text{r}+1}=\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_\text{r}\text{x}^{\text{n}-\text{r}}\text{y}^\text{r}$

              In the expansion of (1 + x)2n, we get $\text{T}_{\text{r}+1}=\ ^{2\text{n}}\text{C}_\text{r}\text{x}^\text{r}$

              To get the coefficient of xn, put r = n

              $\therefore$ Coefficient of $\text{x}^\text{n}=\ ^{\text{2n}}\text{C}_\text{n}$

              In the expansion of $(1+\text{x})^{2\text{n}-1},$ we get $\text{T}_{\text{r}+1}=\ ^{2\text{n}-1}\text{C}_\text{r}\text{x}^\text{r}$

              $\therefore$ Coefficient of $\text{x}^\text{n}\ \ \text{is}=\ ^{\text{2n}-1}\text{C}_{\text{n}-1}$

              The required ratio is $\frac{^{\text{2n}}\text{C}_{\text{n}-1}}{^{\text{2n}-1}\text{C}_{\text{n}-1}}$

              $=\frac{\frac{2\text{n}!}{\text{n}!(\text{n}!)}}{\frac{(2\text{n}-1)!}{(\text{n}-1)!(2\text{n}-1-\text{n}+1)!}}=\frac{\frac{2\text{n}!}{\text{n}!.\text{n}!}}{\frac{(2\text{n}-1)!}{(\text{n}-1)!(\text{n}!)}}$

              $=\frac{2\text{n}!}{\text{n}!\text{n}!}\times\frac{(\text{n}-\text{n})!\cdot\text{n}!}{(2\text{n}-1)!}=\frac{2\text{n}(2\text{n}-1)!}{\text{n}!\text{n}(\text{n}-1)!}\times\frac{(\text{n}-1)!\cdot\text{n}!}{(2\text{n}-1)!}$

              $=\frac{2}{1}=2:1$

              Hence, the correct option is (d).

              If the coefficients of 2nd, 3rd and the 4th terms in the expansion of (1 + x)n are in A.P., then value of n is:

                • A
                  2.
                • B
                  7.
                • C
                  11.
                • D
                Answer
                1. 7.

                Solution:

                $(1+\text{x})^\text{n}=\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_0+\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_1\text{x}+\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_2\text{x}^2+\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_3\text{x}^3+...+\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_\text{n}\text{x}^\text{n}$

                So, coefficients of 2nd, 3rd and 4th terms are nC1, nC2 and nC3, respectively.

                Given that, nC1, nC2 and nC3, are in A.P.

                $\therefore2\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_2=\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_1+\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_3$

                $\Rightarrow2\Big[\frac{\text{n}!}{(\text{n}-2)!2!}\Big]=\text{n}+\frac{\text{n}!}{3!(\text{n}-3)!}$

                $\Rightarrow2\Big[\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}-1)}{2!}\Big]=\text{n}+\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}-1)(\text{n}-2)}{3!}\Rightarrow(\text{n}-1)=1+\frac{(\text{n}-1)(\text{n}-2)}{6}$

                $\Rightarrow6\text{n}-6=6+\text{n}^2-3\text{n}+2\Rightarrow\text{n}^2-9\text{n}+14=0$ $\Rightarrow(\text{n}-7)(\text{n}-2)=0$

                $\therefore\text{n}=2\ \text{or}\ \text{n}=7$

                Since n = 2 is not possible, so n = 7.

                  The given expression is $(1 + \text{x})^{2\text{n}}$

                  $\therefore\text{T}_{3\text{r}}=\text{T}_{(3\text{r}-1)+1}=\ ^{2\text{n}}\text{C}_{3\text{r}-1}\ \text{x}^{3\text{r}-1}$

                  and $\text{T}_{\text{r}+2}=\text{T}_{(\text{r}+1)+1}=\ ^{2\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}+1}\text{x}^{\text{r}+1}$

                  Given, $^{2\text{n}}\text{C}_{3\text{r}-1}=\ ^{2\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}+1}$

                  1. $2$

                  Solution:

                  $\sum\frac{1}{3^{\text{k}}}{^\text{k}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}$

                  $=\frac{1}{3^{\text{k}}}\sum{^\text{k}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}$

                  $=\frac{2^{\text{k}}}{3^{\text{k}}}$

                  This is a G.P

                  Therefore, the sum of the series will be

                    Answer
                    1. 80

                    Solution:

                    Tr+1 ​= 40Cr​ x40-r x2r 2-r

                    The power of x = 40 + r

                    Highest power of x occurs when r = 40(last term)

                    Hence, highest power of x is 80.

                    Hence, the polynomial is of degree 80.

                    1. 51

                    Solution:

                    In the above binomial expansion, the terms at the even places will get eliminated, and we would be left with twice the sum of the terms at odd places.

                    Hence there will be

                    $\frac{\text{n}}{2}+1$

                    $=\frac{100}{2}+1$

                    $=51\text{terms}$

                          Solution:

                            1. 216

                            Solution:

                            If the exponent of the expression is n, then the total number of terms is n + 1.

                            Hence, the total number of terms is 4 + 1 = 5.

                            Hence, the middle term is the 3rd term.

                            Therefore, T3 = 4C× (2)× (3x)2

                            T3 = (6) × (4) × (9x2)

                            T3 = 216x2.

                            Therefore, the coefficient of the middle term is 216.

                              1. 41

                              Solution:

                              The general term Tr+1 in the given expansion is given by ${^\text{45}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}\Big(4^{\frac{1}{5}}\Big)^{45-\text{r}}\Big(7^{\frac{1}{10}}\Big)^{\text{r}}$

                              For Tr+1 to be an integer, we must have $\frac{\text{r}}{5}$ and $\frac{\text{r}}{10}$ as integers i.e. $0\leq\text{r}\leq45$

                              $\therefore \text{r}=0,10,20,30,40$

                              Hence, there are 5 rational and 41, i.e. 46 - 5, irrational terms.

                                1. 101

                                Solution:

                                The general term Tr+1 in the given expansion is given by ${^\text{600}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}(17^{\frac{1}{3}})^{600-\text{r}}\Big(35^{\frac{1}{2}}\text{x}\Big)^{\text{r}}$

                                $={^\text{600}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}(17^{\frac{1}{3}})^{200-\frac{\text{r}}{3}}\times\Big(35^{\frac{\text{r}}{2}}\text{x}\Big)^{\text{r}}$

                                Now, Tr+1 is an integer if $\frac{\text{r}}{2}$ and $\frac{\text{r}}{2}$ are integers for all $0\leq\text{r}\leq600$

                                Thus, we have

                                r = 0, 6, 12, ....600

                                Since, It is an A.P

                                So, $600 = 0 + (\text{n} - 1)6$

                                $\Rightarrow \text{n}=101$

                                Hence, there are 101 terms with integral coefficients.

                                  Solution:

                                  $(1-\text{x})^{\text{n}}(1+\text{x})^{\text{n}}=\sum_{\text{r}=0}^{\text{n}}\text{a}_{\text{r}}\text{x}^{\text{r}}(1-\text{x})^{\text{n}}(1-\text{x})^{\text{n}-\text{r}}$

                                  $\Rightarrow(1-\text{x}+2\text{x})^{\text{n}}=\sum_{\text{r}=0}^{\text{n}}\text{a}_{\text{r}}\text{x}^{\text{r}}(1-\text{x})^{\text{n}-\text{r}}$

                                  $\Rightarrow\sum_{\text{r}=0}^{\text{n}}{^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}(1-\text{x})^{\text{n}-\text{r}}(2\text{x})^{\text{r}}$

                                  Comparing general term, we get $\text{a}^{\text{r}}={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}2^{\text{r}}$

                                    Answer
                                    1. 94

                                    Solution:

                                    As n = 100 hence there are 101 terms

                                    The genral term for expansion is given as $\text{T}_{\text{r}+1}={^{100}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}\cdot3\frac{100-\text{r}}{5}\cdot7\frac{\text{r}}{3}$

                                    So, we need to find such values of r for which $\frac{100-\text{r}}{5}$ and $\frac{\text{r}}{3}$ is a natural number.

                                    For such value we find value of r i.e r = 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90

                                    hence there are 7 values for which it is rational.

                                    So there are 101 - 7 = 94 irrational terms.

                                      1. 1120

                                      Solution:

                                      Suppose (r + 1)th term in the given expansion is independent of x.

                                      Then, we have

                                      $\text{T}_{\text{r}+1}={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}(2\text{x})^{\text{n}-\text{r}}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)^{\text{r}}$

                                      $={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}(2)^{\text{n}-\text{r}}\text{x}^{\text{n}-2\text{r}}$

                                      For this term to be independent of x, we must have

                                      $\text{n}-2\text{r}=0$

                                      $\Rightarrow \text{r}=\frac{\text{n}}{2}$

                                      $\therefore$ Required term $={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\frac{\text{n}}{2}}\ 2^{\text{n}-\frac{\text{n}}{2}}=\frac{\text{n!}}{\big[(\frac{\text{n}}{2})\big]}\ 2^{\frac{\text{n}}{2}}$

                                      We know,

                                      Sum of the given expansion = 256

                                      Thus, we have

                                      $2^{\text{n}}.1^{\text{n}}=256$

                                      $\Rightarrow \text{n}=8$

                                      $\therefore$ Required term $=\frac{8!}{(4)!(4)!}2^{4}=1120$

                                        1. A2 - B2

                                        Solution:

                                        Then,

                                        $(\text{x}+\text{a})^{\text{n}}=\text{A}+\text{B}\ ...(\text{i})$

                                        Multplying both the equations we get,

                                        $(\text{x}+\text{a})^{\text{n}}(\text{x}-\text{a})^{\text{n}}=\text{A}^{2}-\text{B}^{2}$

                                              Then, we have

                                              $\text{T}_{r+1}={^\text{11}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}\ \text{x}^{11-\text{r}}\ \Big(\frac{-\text{m}}{\text{x}}\Big)^{\text{r}}$

                                              $=(-1)^{\text{r}}\times{^\text{11}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}\ \text{m}^{\text{r}}\ \text{x}^{11-\text{r}-\text{r}}$

                                              For this term to contain x-3, we must have

                                              $=11-2\text{r}=-3$

                                              $\Rightarrow \text{r}=7$

                                              Required coefficient $=(-1)^{7}\ {^\text{11}}\text{C}_{\text{7}}\ \text{m}^{7}$

                                              $=-\frac{11\times10\times9\times8}{4\times3\times2}\ \text{m}^{7}$

                                              $=-330\text{m}^{7}$

                                              Solution:

                                              Now, (1 + 2x + x2)10 = ((1 + x)2)10 = (1 + x)20

                                              Now, the number of terms in the expansion of (1 + x)n are n + 1.

                                              Thus, the number of terms in the expansion of (1 + x)20 will be 20 + 1 =21.

                                                Solution:

                                                In general, if “n” is the even in the expansion of (a + b)n, then the number of terms will be odd. (i.e) n + 1.

                                                Hence, the middle term of the expansion (a + b)n is $\big[\big(\frac{\text{n}}{2})+1\big]^\text{th }\text{term}.$

                                                Solution:

                                                (1 + x)10 10C0​ +10C1​x + 10C2​x2 + ........ + 10C7​x7 + 10C8​x8 + 10C9​x9 + 10C10​x10

                                                So here, first term is 10C0​ then 8th term will be 10C7​x7.

                                                ⇒  Coefficient of the 8th term =10C7

                                                    1. 49

                                                    Solution:

                                                    Given: 23n - 7n - 1. It can also be written as 8n - 7n - 1

                                                    Let 8n - 7n - 1 = 0

                                                    So, 8n = 7n + 1

                                                    8n = (1 + 7)n

                                                    By applying binomial theorem, we get

                                                    8n - 1 - 7n = 49 (or) 23n - 7n - 1 = 49

                                                    Hence, 23n - 7n - 1 is divisible by 49.

                                                          Solution:

                                                          In pascals triangle middle terms has the highest value.

                                                          Therefore consider 21Cn​

                                                          $=\frac{21!}{(21-\text{n})!\text{n}!}$

                                                          For (21 - n)!n!

                                                          to be least 21Cn​ has to be maximum.

                                                          Therefore, since 21 is odd we have two middle terms T11​ and T12​.

                                                          Hence for n = 11,

                                                          (21 - n)!n! = 11!(10)!

                                                          which is less than 12!(9!) for n = 12.

                                                            Solution:

                                                            $ (126)^{\frac{1}{3}}$ can also be written as the cube root of 126.

                                                            Hence, $ (126)^{\frac{1}{3}}$is approximately equal to 5.013.
