Question 11 Mark
State which of the statement in True or False.
The last two digits of the numbers 3400 are 01.
Answer
True.

Solution:

Given that $3^{400}=(9)^{200}=(10-1)^{200}$

$\therefore(10-1)^{200}=\ ^{200}\text{C}_0(10)^{200}-\ ^{200}\text{C}_1(10)^{199}+...\\-\ ^{200}\text{C}_{199}(10)^1+\ ^{200}\text{C}_{200}(1)^{200}$

$=10^{200}-200\times10^{199}+...-10\times200+1$

So, it is clear that last two digits are 01.

Hence, the given statement is True.

Question 21 Mark
State which of the statement in True or False.
The sum of coefficients of the two middle terms in the expansion of (1 + x)2n - 1 is equal to 2n - 1Cn.
Answer
False.

Solution:

The given expression is (1 + x)2n - 1

Number of terms = 2n - 1 + 1 = 2n (even)

$\therefore$ Middle terms are $\frac{2\text{n}}{2}\text{th}$ terms and $\Big(\frac{2\text{n}}{2}+1\Big)^\text{th}$ terms

= nth terms and (n + 1)th terms

Coefficient of nth term $=2\text{n}-\ ^1\text{C}_{\text{n}-1}$

and the coefficient of (n + 1)th term $=\ ^{2\text{n}-1}\text{C}_\text{n}$

Sum of the coefficients $=\ ^{2\text{n}-1}\text{C}_{\text{n}-1}+2^{\text{n}-1}\text{C}_\text{n}$

$=\ ^{2\text{n}-1}\text{C}_{\text{n}-1}+\ ^{2\text{n}-1}\text{C}_\text{n}=\ ^{2\text{n}-1+1}\text{C}_\text{n}=\ ^{2\text{n}}\text{C}_\text{n}$

Hence, the statement $[\because\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_\text{r}+\ ^\text{n}\text{C}_{\text{r}-1}=\ ^{\text{n}+1}\text{C}_\text{r}]$ is False.

Question 31 Mark
State which of the statement in True or False.
The expression 79 + 97 is divisible by 64.
Hint: 79 + 97 = (1 + 8)7 - (1 – 8)9
Answer
True.

Solution:

$7^9+9^7=(1+8)^7-(1-8)^9$

$=[\ ^7\text{C}_0+\ ^7\text{C}_1.8+\ ^7\text{C}_2(8)_2+\ ^7\text{C}_3(8)^3+...+\ ^7\text{C}_7(8)^7]\\-[\ ^9\text{C}_0+\ ^9\text{C}_18+\ ^9\text{C}_28+\ ^9\text{C}_3(8 )^2-\ ^9\text{C}_3(8)^3+...\ ^9\text{C}_9(8)^9]$

$=(7\times8+9\times8)+(21\times8^2-36\times8^2)+...$

$=(56+72)+(21-36)8^2+...=128+64(21-36)+...$

$=64[2+(21-36)+...]$

Which is divisible by 64

Hence, the given statement is True.

Question 41 Mark
State which of the statement in True or False.
The sum of the series $\sum\limits_{\text{r}=0}^{10}\ ^{20}\text{C}_\text{r}\ \text{is}\ 2^{19}+\frac{^{20}\text{C}_{10}}{2}$
Answer
False.

Solution:

$\sum\limits_{\text{r}=0}^{10}\ ^{20}\text{C}_\text{r}=\ ^{20}\text{C}_0+\ ^{20}\text{C}_1+\ ^{20}\text{C}_2+\ ^{20}\text{C}_3\ +....+\ ^{20}\text{C}_{10}$

$=\ ^{20}\text{C}_0+\ ^{20}\text{C}_1+....+\ ^{20}\text{C}_{10}+\ ^{20}\text{C}_{11}+...+\ ^{20}\text{C}_{20}-(\ ^{20}\text{C}_{11}+...+\ ^{20}\text{C}_{20})$

$=2^{20}-(\ ^{20}\text{C}_{11}+...\ ^{20}\text{C}_{20})$

Hence, the given statement is False.

Question 51 Mark
State which of the statement in True or False.
If the expansion of $\Big(\text{x}-\frac{1}{\text{x}^2}\Big)^{2\text{n}}$ contains a term independent of x, then n is a multiple of 2.
Answer
False.

Solution:

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

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

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

For the term independents of x, 2n - 3r = 0

$\therefore\text{r}=\frac{2\text{n}}{3}$ Which not an integer and the expression is not possible to be true.

Hence, the given statement is False.

Question 61 Mark
State which of the statement in True or False.
The number of terms in the expansion of [(2x + y3 )4]7 is 8.
Answer
False.

Solution:

Given expression is [2x + 3y)4]7 = (2x + 3y)28

So, the number of terms = 28 + 1 = 29

Hence the given statement is False.

Question 71 Mark
State which of the statement in True or False.
Number of terms in the expansion of (a + b) n where $\text{n}\in\text{N}$ is one less than the power n.
Answer
False.

Solution:

Since, the number of terms in the given expression (a + b)n is 1 more than n i.e., n + 1.

Hence, the given statement is False.
