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.
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 $\text{x}=\frac{1}{5}.$
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)
$\Rightarrow\frac{63}{8 }=252\times\sin^5\text{x}\Rightarrow\sin^5\text{x}=\frac{1}{32}$ $\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}=\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow\sin\text{x}=\sin\frac{\pi}{6}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\text{n}\pi+(-1)^\text{n}\frac{\pi}{6}$
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, $-\frac{105}{8}+\frac{35}{48}=-\frac{595}{48}$
Solution:
We know a prime x > 6 can be always written as 6k + 1 or 6k - 1, when k is an integer.
Option A ⟶ 889 = 6 × 148 + 1
Option B ⟶ 997 = 6 × 166 + 1
Option C ⟶ 899 = 6 × 133 + 1
Option D ⟶ 1147 = 6 × 191 + 1
$\therefore$ All the options are correct.
Solution
The general term is
tr+1 = p+q CrXr
For coefficient of xp, r = p and hence coefficient is p+qCp
For coefficient of xq, r = q and hence coefficient is p+qCq
p+qCp = p+qCq
The two successive terms in the expansion of (1 + x)24 whose coefficients are in the ratio 1 : 4 are:
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.
If A and B are coefficient of xn in the expansions of (1 + x)2n and (1 + x)2n – 1 respectively, then $\frac{\text{A}}{\text{B}}$ equals:
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.
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:
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.
Given the integers r > 1, n > 2, and coefficients of (3r)th and (r + 2)nd terms in the binomial expansion of (1 + x)2n are equal, then:
Solution:
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, $^{2\text{n}}\text{C}_{3\text{r}-1}=\ ^{2\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}+1}$
$\Rightarrow3\text{r}-1+\text{r}+1=2\text{n}\ \ [\because\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_\text{x}=\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_\text{y}\Rightarrow\text{x}+\text{y}=\text{n}]$
$\therefore\text{n}=2\text{r}$
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
$\text{S}=\frac{\frac{2}{3}}{1-\frac{20}{3}}=2$
Solution:
Expansion is $\Big(\sqrt{\text{x}}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big)^{12}$
$\text{T}_{\text{r}+1}=12_{\text{C}\text{r}}\big(\frac{1}{\text{x}}\big)^{\text{r}}\cdot(\sqrt{\text{x}})^{12-\text{r}}=12_{\text{C}\text{r}}\cdot\text{x}^{6-1.5\text{r}}$
4th term is $\text{T}_4=12_{\text{C}3}\cdot\text{x}^{6-1.5\times3}=220.\text{x}^{\frac{3}{2}}$
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.
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:
(x - 3)5 = 5C0x5 + 5C1x4 (-3)1 + 5C2x3 (-3)2 + 5C3x2 (-3)3 + 5C4x (-3)4 + 5C5 (-3)5
= x5 -15x4 + 90x3 - 270x2 + 405x - 243
Solution:
General term of (1 - 2x)5 is given by
Tr+1 = 5Cr (-2x)r
= 5Cr (-2)xr
For coefficient of x4, power of x = 4
$\therefore$ r = 4
$\therefore$ Coefficient pf x4 = 5C4 (-2)4
= 5 × 16 = 80
Solution:
(1 - x)10 = 1 - 10C1x + 10C2x2 + ... 10C10x10
Substituting x = 1, we get sum of coefficients as
1 - 10C1 + 10C2 + ... 10C10
= (1 - 1)10
= 0
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 = 4C2 × (2)2 × (3x)2
T3 = (6) × (4) × (9x2)
T3 = 216x2.
Therefore, the coefficient of the middle term is 216.
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.
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:
No. of elements in b.c.d... = n
Choose ak, where $\text{k}\in0,$ 0, 1, 2, .. m at a time = (m + 1) for every k, no. possible factors from n elements
= nC0 + nC1 + nC2 +..... + nCn
= 2n
Total factors = No. of possible powers of a × every k, no. possible factors from n elements
= (m + 1)2n
If factor 1 is excluded then
(m + 1)2n - 1
Solution:
Consider given the binomial expression,
$\sum\limits^{16}_{\text{r}+2}{^{16}}\text{C}_\text{r}={^{16}}\text{C}_{2}+{^{16}}\text{C}_{3}+{^{16}}\text{C}_{3}+\ .....\ {^{16}}\text{C}_{16}$
$=2^{16}-17$
Hence, this is the answer.
Solution:
$(1-\text{x})^{\text{n}}(1+\text{x})^{\text{n}}=\sum_{\text{r}=0}^{\text{n}}\text{a}_{\text{r}}\text{x}^{\text{r}}(1-\text{x})^{\text{n}}(1-\text{x})^{\text{n}-\text{r}}$
$\Rightarrow(1-\text{x}+2\text{x})^{\text{n}}=\sum_{\text{r}=0}^{\text{n}}\text{a}_{\text{r}}\text{x}^{\text{r}}(1-\text{x})^{\text{n}-\text{r}}$
$\Rightarrow\sum_{\text{r}=0}^{\text{n}}{^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}(1-\text{x})^{\text{n}-\text{r}}(2\text{x})^{\text{r}}$
$=\sum_{\text{r}=0}^{\text{n}}\text{a}_{\text{r}}\text{x}^{\text{r}}(1-\text{x})^{\text{n}-\text{r}}$
Comparing general term, we get $\text{a}^{\text{r}}={^\text{n}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}2^{\text{r}}$
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.
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 $=\frac{8!}{(4)!(4)!}2^{4}=1120$
Solution:
If A and B denote respectively the sums of odd terms and even terms in the expansion $(\text{x}+\text{a})^{\text{n}}.$
Then,
$(\text{x}+\text{a})^{\text{n}}=\text{A}+\text{B}\ ...(\text{i})$
$(\text{x}-\text{a})^{\text{n}}=\text{A}-\text{B}\ ...(\text{ii})$
Multplying both the equations we get,
$(\text{x}+\text{a})^{\text{n}}(\text{x}-\text{a})^{\text{n}}=\text{A}^{2}-\text{B}^{2}$
$\Rightarrow (\text{x}-\text{a})^{\text{n}}=\text{A}^{2}-\text{B}^{2}$
Solution:
(1 + ax)n = 1 + 8x + 24x2 + ..........
⇒ nC0 + nC1(ax) + nC2.(ax)2 + ...... = 1 + 8x + 24ax2 ..........
⇒ 1 + (na)x + nC2.(ax)2 + ...... = 1 + 8x + 24ax2 ..........
Comparing coefficient of x in R.H.S to that in L.H.S.Thus n × a = 8
Solution:
we have,
$(1+\text{x})^{21}+(1+\text{x})^{22}+...+(1+\text{x})^{30}$
$=(1+\text{x})^{21}\Big[\frac{(1+\text{x})^{10}-1}{(1+\text{x})+1}\Big]$
$=\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big[(1+\text{x})^{31}-(1+\text{x})^{21}\Big]$
Coefficient of x5 in the given expansion = Coefficient of x5 in $=\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big[(1+\text{x})^{31}-(1+\text{x})^{21}\Big]$
= Coefficient of x6 in $\Big[(1+\text{x})^{31}-(1+\text{x})^{21}\Big]$
$={^\text{31}}\text{C}_{\text{6}}-{^\text{21}}\text{C}_{\text{6}}$
Solution:
Let x-3 occur at (r + 1)th term in the given expansion.
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 the expansion of $\big(1+3\sqrt{2}\text{x}\big)^{9}+\big(1-3\sqrt{2}\text{x}\big)^{9}$ 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th and 10th terms get cancelled.
$\therefore$ Number of non - zero terms in $2\Big[{^9}\text{C}_{0}+{^9}\text{C}_{2}(3\sqrt{2}\text{x})^{2}+\ ...\ +{^9}\text{C}_{8}(3\sqrt{2}\text{x})^{8}\Big]$ is 5.
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 +10C1x + 10C2x2 + ........ + 10C7x7 + 10C8x8 + 10C9x9 + 10C10x10
So here, first term is 10C0 then 8th term will be 10C7x7.
⇒ Coefficient of the 8th term =10C7
$=\frac{10!}{7!3!}$
$=\frac{10\times9\times8\times7!}{7!\times3\times2\times1}$
$=120$
Solution:
The number of rational terms will be
$1+\frac{300}{\text{L}.\text{C}.\text{M}(3,2)}$
$=1+\frac{300}{6}$
$=1+50=51$rational terms.
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:
(0.999)3 = (1 - 0.001)3
= 3C0 - 3C1 (0.001) + 3C2 (0.001)2 - 3C3 (0.001)3
= 1 - 0.003 + 3 (0.000001) - (0.000000001)
= 0.997
Solution:
$(1+0.0001)^{10000}$
$=\big(1+\frac{1}{10000}\big)^{10000}$
$=\big(1+\frac{1}{\text{n}}\big)^{\text{n}}=\text{n}\text{c}_{0}(1)^{\text{n}}+\text{n}\text{c}_{1}(1)^{\text{n}-1}\cdot\frac{1}{\text{n}}+\text{n}\text{c}_{2}(1)^{\text{n}-2}\frac{1}{\text{n}^{2}}+\ ....$
$=1+\text{n}\cdot\frac{1}{\text{n}}+\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}-1)}{2}\cdot\frac{1}{\text{n}^2}+\ ....$
$=2+\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}-1)}{2\text{n}^{2}}+\ ....$ > 2 Integer just greater than 2 is 3.
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.
Solution:
Suppose x4 occurs at the (r + 1)th term in the given expansion.
Then, we have
$\text{T}_{\text{r}+1}={^\text{10}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)^{10-\text{r}}\Big(\frac{-3}{2\text{x}^{2}}\Big)$
$=(-1)^{\text{r}}\ {^\text{10}}\text{C}_{\text{r}}\frac{3^{\text{r}}}{2^{10-\text{r}}}\text{x}^{10-\text{r}-2\text{r}}$
For this term to contain x4, we must have
$10-3\text{r}=4$
$\Rightarrow \text{r}=2$
$\therefore$ Required coefficient $={^\text{10}}\text{C}_{\text{2}}\frac{3^{2}}{2^{8}}=\frac{10\times9\times9}{2\times2^{8}}=\frac{405}{256}$
