If the coefficient of a7b8 in the expansion of (a + 2b + 4ab)10 is K.216, then K is equal to _____________.
Correct Answer: 315
Explanation:
${{10!} \over {\alpha !\beta !\gamma !}}{a^\alpha }{(2b)^\beta }.{(4ab)^\gamma }$
${{10!} \over {\alpha !\beta !\gamma !}}{a^{\alpha + \gamma }}.\,{b^{\beta + \gamma }}\,.\,{2^\beta }\,.\,{4^\gamma }$
$\alpha + \beta + \gamma = 10$ ..... (1)
$\alpha + \gamma = 7$ .... (2)
$\beta + \gamma = 8$ ..... (3)
$(2) + (3) - (1) \Rightarrow \gamma = 5$
$\alpha = 2$
$\beta = 3$
so coefficients = ${{10!} \over {2!3!5!}}{2^3}{.2^{10}}$
$ = {{10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5} \over {2 \times 3 \times 2 \times 5!}} \times {2^{13}}$
$ = 315 \times {2^{16}} \Rightarrow k = 315$
${{10!} \over {\alpha !\beta !\gamma !}}{a^{\alpha + \gamma }}.\,{b^{\beta + \gamma }}\,.\,{2^\beta }\,.\,{4^\gamma }$

$(2) + (3) - (1) \Rightarrow \gamma = 5$
$\alpha = 2$
$\beta = 3$
so coefficients = ${{10!} \over {2!3!5!}}{2^3}{.2^{10}}$
$ = {{10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6 \times 5} \over {2 \times 3 \times 2 \times 5!}} \times {2^{13}}$

Correct Answer: 98
Explanation:
1. ${}^n{C_0} + 3.{}^n{C_1} + 5.{}^n{C_2} + ... + (2n + 1).{}^n{C_n}$
${T_r} = (2r + 1){}^n{C_r}$
$S = \sum {{T_r}} $
$S = \sum {(2r + 1){}^n{C_r}} = \sum {2r{}^n{C_r} + \sum {{}^n{C_r}} } $
$S = 2(n{.2^{n - 1}}) + {2^n} = {2^n}(n + 1)$
${2^n}(n + 1) = {2^{100}}.101 \Rightarrow n = 100$
$2\left[ {{{n - 1} \over 2}} \right] = 2\left[ {{{99} \over 2}} \right] = 98$
${T_r} = (2r + 1){}^n{C_r}$
$S = \sum {{T_r}} $
$S = \sum {(2r + 1){}^n{C_r}} = \sum {2r{}^n{C_r} + \sum {{}^n{C_r}} } $
$S = 2(n{.2^{n - 1}}) + {2^n} = {2^n}(n + 1)$
${2^n}(n + 1) = {2^{100}}.101 \Rightarrow n = 100$
$2\left[ {{{n - 1} \over 2}} \right] = 2\left[ {{{99} \over 2}} \right] = 98$

The ratio of the coefficient of the middle term in the expansion of (1 + x)20 and the sum of the coefficients of two middle terms in expansion of (1 + x)19 is _____________.
Correct Answer: 1
Explanation:
Coeff. of middle term in (1 + x)20 = ${}^{20}{C_{10}}$ & Sum of coeff. of two middle terms in (1 + x)19 = ${}^{19}{C_{9}}$ + ${}^{19}{C_{10}}$
So required ratio = ${{{}^{20}{C_{10}}} \over {^{19}{C_9}{ + ^{19}}{C_{10}}}} = {{^{20}{C_{10}}} \over {^{20}{C_{10}}}} = 1$
So required ratio = ${{{}^{20}{C_{10}}} \over {^{19}{C_9}{ + ^{19}}{C_{10}}}} = {{^{20}{C_{10}}} \over {^{20}{C_{10}}}} = 1$

Correct Answer: 210
Explanation:
${\left( {{{x + 1} \over {{x^{2/3}} - {x^{1/3}} + 1}} - {{x - 1} \over {x - {x^{1/2}}}}} \right)^{10}}$
= ${\left( {{{{{\left( {{x^{1/3}}} \right)}^3} + {{\left( {{1^{1/3}}} \right)}^3}} \over {{x^{2/3}} - {x^{1/3}} + 1}} - {{{{\left( {\sqrt x } \right)}^2} - {{\left( 1 \right)}^2}} \over {x - {x^{1/2}}}}} \right)^{10}}$
= ${\left( {{{\left( {{x^{1/3}} + 1} \right)\left( {{x^{2/3}} - {x^{1/3}} + 1} \right)} \over {{x^{2/3}} - {x^{1/3}} + 1}} - {{\left( {\sqrt x + 1} \right)\left( {\sqrt x - 1} \right)} \over {\sqrt x \left( {\sqrt x - 1} \right)}}} \right)^{10}}$
= ${\left( {\left( {{x^{1/3}} + 1} \right) - {{\left( {\sqrt x + 1} \right)} \over {\sqrt x }}} \right)^{10}}$
= ${\left( {\left( {{x^{1/3}} + 1} \right) - \left( {1 + {1 \over {\sqrt x }}} \right)} \right)^{10}}$
= ${\left( {{x^{1/3}} - {1 \over {{x^{1/2}}}}} \right)^{10}}$
[Note:
For ${\left( {{x^\alpha } \pm {1 \over {{x^\beta }}}} \right)^n}$ the $\left( {r + 1} \right)$th term with power m of x is
$r = {{n\alpha - m} \over {\alpha + \beta }}$]
Here $\alpha = {1 \over 3}$, $\beta = {1 \over 2}$ and m = 0
then $r = {{10 \times {1 \over 3} - 0} \over {{1 \over 3} + {1 \over 2}}}$ = ${{10} \over 3} \times {6 \over 5}$ = 4
$\therefore$ T5 is the term independent of x.
$\therefore$ T5 = ${}^{10}{C_4}$ = 210
= ${\left( {{{{{\left( {{x^{1/3}}} \right)}^3} + {{\left( {{1^{1/3}}} \right)}^3}} \over {{x^{2/3}} - {x^{1/3}} + 1}} - {{{{\left( {\sqrt x } \right)}^2} - {{\left( 1 \right)}^2}} \over {x - {x^{1/2}}}}} \right)^{10}}$
= ${\left( {{{\left( {{x^{1/3}} + 1} \right)\left( {{x^{2/3}} - {x^{1/3}} + 1} \right)} \over {{x^{2/3}} - {x^{1/3}} + 1}} - {{\left( {\sqrt x + 1} \right)\left( {\sqrt x - 1} \right)} \over {\sqrt x \left( {\sqrt x - 1} \right)}}} \right)^{10}}$
= ${\left( {\left( {{x^{1/3}} + 1} \right) - {{\left( {\sqrt x + 1} \right)} \over {\sqrt x }}} \right)^{10}}$
= ${\left( {\left( {{x^{1/3}} + 1} \right) - \left( {1 + {1 \over {\sqrt x }}} \right)} \right)^{10}}$
= ${\left( {{x^{1/3}} - {1 \over {{x^{1/2}}}}} \right)^{10}}$
[Note:
For ${\left( {{x^\alpha } \pm {1 \over {{x^\beta }}}} \right)^n}$ the $\left( {r + 1} \right)$th term with power m of x is

Here $\alpha = {1 \over 3}$, $\beta = {1 \over 2}$ and m = 0
then $r = {{10 \times {1 \over 3} - 0} \over {{1 \over 3} + {1 \over 2}}}$ = ${{10} \over 3} \times {6 \over 5}$ = 4

& (10 $-$ R)r $-$ 2R = 0
$r = {{2R} \over {10 - R}}$
$r = {{2(R - 10)} \over {10 - R}} + {{20} \over {10 - R}}$
$ \Rightarrow r = - 2 + {{20} \over {10 - R}}$ ....... (2)
R = 8 or 5 reject equation (1) not satisfied

The number of elements in the set {n $\in$ {1, 2, 3, ......., 100} | (11)n > (10)n + (9)n} is ______________.
Correct Answer: 96
Explanation:
${11^n} > {10^n} + {9^n}$
$ \Rightarrow {11^n} - {9^n} > {10^n}$
$ \Rightarrow {(10 + 1)^n} - {(10 - 1)^n} > {10^n}$
$ \Rightarrow 2\{ {}^n{C_1}{.10^{n - 1}} + {}^n{C_3}{10^{n - 10}} + {}^n{C_5}{10^{n - 5}} + .....\} > {10^n}$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${1 \over 5}\left[ {{}^n{C_1}{{10}^n} + {}^n{C_3}{{10}^{n - 2}} + {}^n{C_5}{{10}^{n - 4}} + .....} \right] > {10^n}$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${1 \over 5}\left[ {{}^n{C_1} + {}^n{C_3}{{10}^{ - 2}} + {}^n{C_5}{{10}^{ - 4}} + .....} \right] > 1$
Clearly the above inequality is true for n $ \ge $ 5
For n = 4, we have ${1 \over 5}\left[ {4 + {4 \over {{{10}^2}}}} \right] = {4 \over 5}\left( {{{101} \over {100}}} \right) < 1$
$\Rightarrow$ Inequality does not hold good for n = 1, 2, 3, 4
So, required number of elements ={5, 6, 7, ......., 100} = 96
$ \Rightarrow {11^n} - {9^n} > {10^n}$
$ \Rightarrow {(10 + 1)^n} - {(10 - 1)^n} > {10^n}$
$ \Rightarrow 2\{ {}^n{C_1}{.10^{n - 1}} + {}^n{C_3}{10^{n - 10}} + {}^n{C_5}{10^{n - 5}} + .....\} > {10^n}$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${1 \over 5}\left[ {{}^n{C_1}{{10}^n} + {}^n{C_3}{{10}^{n - 2}} + {}^n{C_5}{{10}^{n - 4}} + .....} \right] > {10^n}$
$ \Rightarrow $ ${1 \over 5}\left[ {{}^n{C_1} + {}^n{C_3}{{10}^{ - 2}} + {}^n{C_5}{{10}^{ - 4}} + .....} \right] > 1$
Clearly the above inequality is true for n $ \ge $ 5
For n = 4, we have ${1 \over 5}\left[ {4 + {4 \over {{{10}^2}}}} \right] = {4 \over 5}\left( {{{101} \over {100}}} \right) < 1$
$\Rightarrow$ Inequality does not hold good for n = 1, 2, 3, 4
So, required number of elements ={5, 6, 7, ......., 100} = 96

Let ${}^n{C_r}$ denote the binomial coefficient of xr in the expansion of (1 + x)n.
If $\sum\limits_{k = 0}^{10} {({2^2} + 3k)} {}^{10}{C_k} = \alpha {.3^{10}} + \beta {.2^{10}},\alpha ,\beta \in R$, then $\alpha$ + $\beta$ is equal to ___________.
Correct Answer: 19
Explanation:
$\sum\limits_{k = 0}^{10} {({2^2} + 3k){}^{10}{C_k}} $
$ = 4\sum\limits_{k = 0}^{10} {{}^{10}{C_k}} + 3\sum\limits_{k = 0}^{10} {k.{}^{10}{C_k}} $
$ = 4({2^{10}}) + 3\sum\limits_{k = 0}^{10} {k.{{10} \over k}.{}^9{C_{k - 1}}} $
= $4({2^{10}}) + 3.10({2^9})$
$ = 4({2^{10}}) + {3.5.2^{10}}$
$ = {2^{10}}(19)$
According to question,
$19({2^{10}}) = \alpha {.3^{10}} + \beta {.2^{10}}$
$ \therefore $ $\alpha = 0,\beta = 19$
$ \Rightarrow \alpha + \beta = 19$
$ = 4\sum\limits_{k = 0}^{10} {{}^{10}{C_k}} + 3\sum\limits_{k = 0}^{10} {k.{}^{10}{C_k}} $
$ = 4({2^{10}}) + 3\sum\limits_{k = 0}^{10} {k.{{10} \over k}.{}^9{C_{k - 1}}} $

Let the coefficients of third, fourth and fifth terms in the expansion of ${\left( {x + {a \over {{x^2}}}} \right)^n},x \ne 0$, be in the ratio 12 : 8 : 3. Then the term independent of x in the expansion, is equal to ___________.
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
${T_{r + 1}} = {n_{C_r}}{x^{n - r}}.{\left( {{a \over {{x^2}}}} \right)^r}$
$ = {}^n{C_r}{a^r}{x^{n - 3r}}$
${T_3} = {}^n{C_2}{a^2}{x^{n - 6}}$, ${T_4} = {}^n{C_3}{a^3}{x^{n - 9}}$, ${T_5} = {}^n{C_4}{a^4}{x^{n - 12}}$
Now, ${{coefficient\,of\,{T_3}} \over {coefficient\,of\,{T_4}}} = {{{}^n{C_4}.{a^2}} \over {{}^n{C_3}.{a^3}}} = {3 \over {a(n - 2)}} = {3 \over 2}$
$ \Rightarrow a(n - 2) = 2$ .......... (i)
and ${{coefficient\,of\,{T_4}} \over {coefficient\,of\,{T_5}}} = {{{}^n{C_3}.{a^3}} \over {{}^n{C_4}.{a^4}}} = {4 \over {a(n - 3)}} = {8 \over 3}$
$ \Rightarrow a(n - 3) = {3 \over 2}$ ........ (ii)
by (i) and (ii) $n = 6,\,a = {1 \over 2}$
for term independent of 'x'
$n - 3r = 0 \Rightarrow r = {n \over 3} \Rightarrow r = {6 \over 3} = 2$
${T_3} = {}^6{C_2}{\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)^2}{x^0} = {{15} \over 4} = 3.75 \approx 4$
$ = {}^n{C_r}{a^r}{x^{n - 3r}}$
${T_3} = {}^n{C_2}{a^2}{x^{n - 6}}$, ${T_4} = {}^n{C_3}{a^3}{x^{n - 9}}$, ${T_5} = {}^n{C_4}{a^4}{x^{n - 12}}$
Now, ${{coefficient\,of\,{T_3}} \over {coefficient\,of\,{T_4}}} = {{{}^n{C_4}.{a^2}} \over {{}^n{C_3}.{a^3}}} = {3 \over {a(n - 2)}} = {3 \over 2}$
$ \Rightarrow a(n - 2) = 2$ .......... (i)
and ${{coefficient\,of\,{T_4}} \over {coefficient\,of\,{T_5}}} = {{{}^n{C_3}.{a^3}} \over {{}^n{C_4}.{a^4}}} = {4 \over {a(n - 3)}} = {8 \over 3}$
$ \Rightarrow a(n - 3) = {3 \over 2}$ ........ (ii)
by (i) and (ii) $n = 6,\,a = {1 \over 2}$
for term independent of 'x'
$n - 3r = 0 \Rightarrow r = {n \over 3} \Rightarrow r = {6 \over 3} = 2$
${T_3} = {}^6{C_2}{\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)^2}{x^0} = {{15} \over 4} = 3.75 \approx 4$

If (2021)3762 is divided by 17, then the remainder is __________.
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
2021 = 17m - 2
(2021)3762 = (17m $-$ 2)3762 = multiple of 17 + 23762
= 17$\lambda$ + 22 (24)940
= 17$\lambda$ + 4 (17 $-$ 1)940
= 17$\lambda$ + 4 (17$\mu$ + 1)
= 17k + 4; (k $\in$ I)
$ \therefore $ Remainder = 4
(2021)3762 = (17m $-$ 2)3762 = multiple of 17 + 23762
= 17$\lambda$ + 22 (24)940
= 17$\lambda$ + 4 (17 $-$ 1)940

$63A = 1 - {1 \over {{2^{30}}}}$, then n is equal to _____________.
Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
$A = \sum {{{( - 1)}^k}{}^n{C_k}{{\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)}^k}} + \sum {{{( - 1)}^k}{}^n{C_k}{{\left( {{3 \over 4}} \right)}^k}} + .....$
$ = {\left( {1 - {1 \over 2}} \right)^n} + {\left( {1 - {3 \over 4}} \right)^n} + ..... + {\left( {1 - {{31} \over {32}}} \right)^n}$
$ = {\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)^n} + {\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)^{2n}} + {\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)^{3n}} + ..... + {\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)^{5n}}$
$ = {\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)^n}\left( {{{1 - {{\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)}^{5n}}} \over {1 - {{\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)}^n}}}} \right) = {{{2^{5n}} - 1} \over {{2^{5n}}({2^n} - 1)}}$
$ \therefore $ $63A = {{63\left( {{2^{5n}} - 1} \right)} \over {{2^{5n}}\left( {{2^n} - 1} \right)}}$ = ${{63} \over {\left( {{2^n} - 1} \right)}}\left( {1 - {1 \over {{2^{5n}}}}} \right)$
Given, $63A = 1 - {1 \over {{2^{30}}}}$
$ \therefore $ ${{63} \over {\left( {{2^n} - 1} \right)}}\left( {1 - {1 \over {{2^{5n}}}}} \right)$ = $1 - {1 \over {{2^{30}}}}$
For n = 6, L.H.S = R.H.S
$ \therefore $ n = 6
$ = {\left( {1 - {1 \over 2}} \right)^n} + {\left( {1 - {3 \over 4}} \right)^n} + ..... + {\left( {1 - {{31} \over {32}}} \right)^n}$
$ = {\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)^n} + {\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)^{2n}} + {\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)^{3n}} + ..... + {\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)^{5n}}$
$ = {\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)^n}\left( {{{1 - {{\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)}^{5n}}} \over {1 - {{\left( {{1 \over 2}} \right)}^n}}}} \right) = {{{2^{5n}} - 1} \over {{2^{5n}}({2^n} - 1)}}$
$ \therefore $ $63A = {{63\left( {{2^{5n}} - 1} \right)} \over {{2^{5n}}\left( {{2^n} - 1} \right)}}$ = ${{63} \over {\left( {{2^n} - 1} \right)}}\left( {1 - {1 \over {{2^{5n}}}}} \right)$
Given, $63A = 1 - {1 \over {{2^{30}}}}$
$ \therefore $ ${{63} \over {\left( {{2^n} - 1} \right)}}\left( {1 - {1 \over {{2^{5n}}}}} \right)$ = $1 - {1 \over {{2^{30}}}}$
For n = 6, L.H.S = R.H.S

$ = \sum\limits_{r = 1}^{30} {r\left( {{{30} \over r}} \right)({}^{29}{C_{r - 1}}} )$

The total number of two digit numbers 'n', such that 3n + 7n is a multiple of 10, is __________.
Correct Answer: 45
Explanation:
$ \because $ ${7^n} = {(10 - 3)^n} = 10k + {( - 3)^n}$
${7^n} + {3^n} = 10k + {( - 3)^n} + {3^n}$

$ \therefore $ 3n = 32t = (10 $-$ 1)t
= 10p + ($-$1)t
= 10p $\pm$ 1
$ \therefore $ if n = even then 7n + 3n will not be multiply of 10
So if n is odd then only 7n + 3n will be multiply of 10
$ \therefore $ n = 11, 13, 15, ..........., 99
$ \therefore $ Ans : 45
${7^n} + {3^n} = 10k + {( - 3)^n} + {3^n}$

$ \therefore $ 3n = 32t = (10 $-$ 1)t
= 10p + ($-$1)t
= 10p $\pm$ 1
$ \therefore $ if n = even then 7n + 3n will not be multiply of 10
So if n is odd then only 7n + 3n will be multiply of 10
$ \therefore $ n = 11, 13, 15, ..........., 99

${\left( {{x^m} + {1 \over {{x^2}}}} \right)^{22}}$ is 1540, is .............
Correct Answer: 13
Explanation:
General term,
${T_{r + 1}} = {}^{22}{C_r}{({x^m})^{22 - r}}{\left( {{1 \over {{x^2}}}} \right)^r} = {}^{22}{C_r}{x^{22m - mr - 2r}}$
$ \because $ ${}^{22}{C_3} = {}^{22}{C_{19}} = 1540$
$ \therefore $ $r = 3\,or\,19$
$22m - mr - 2r = 1$
$m = {{2r + 1} \over {22 - 5}}$
When $r = 3$, $m = {7 \over {19}} \notin N$
When $r = 19$, $m = {{38 + 1} \over {22 - 19}} = {{39} \over 3} = 13$
$ \therefore $ $m = 13$
${T_{r + 1}} = {}^{22}{C_r}{({x^m})^{22 - r}}{\left( {{1 \over {{x^2}}}} \right)^r} = {}^{22}{C_r}{x^{22m - mr - 2r}}$
$ \because $ ${}^{22}{C_3} = {}^{22}{C_{19}} = 1540$
$ \therefore $ $r = 3\,or\,19$
$22m - mr - 2r = 1$
$m = {{2r + 1} \over {22 - 5}}$
When $r = 3$, $m = {7 \over {19}} \notin N$
When $r = 19$, $m = {{38 + 1} \over {22 - 19}} = {{39} \over 3} = 13$

For a positive integer n,
${\left( {1 + {1 \over x}} \right)^n}$ is expanded

coefficients in this expansion are in the ratio,
2 : 5 : 12, then n is equal to________.
${\left( {1 + {1 \over x}} \right)^n}$ is expanded
in increasing powers of x. If three consecutive
coefficients in this expansion are in the ratio,
2 : 5 : 12, then n is equal to________.
Correct Answer: 118
Explanation:
Let, three consecutive coefficients are
${}^n{C_{r - 1}},{}^n{C_r},{}^n{C_{r + 1}}$
${}^n{C_{r - 1}}:{}^n{C_r}:{}^n{C_{r + 1}} = 2:5:12$
Now, ${{{}^n{C_{r - 1}}} \over {{}^n{C_r}}} = {2 \over 5}$
$ \Rightarrow 7r = 2n + 2$ ...(i)
${{{}^n{C_r}} \over {{}^n{C_{r + 1}}}} = {5 \over {12}}$
$ \Rightarrow 7r = 5n - 12$ ...(ii)
On solving (i) and (ii) we get n = 118
${}^n{C_{r - 1}},{}^n{C_r},{}^n{C_{r + 1}}$
${}^n{C_{r - 1}}:{}^n{C_r}:{}^n{C_{r + 1}} = 2:5:12$
Now, ${{{}^n{C_{r - 1}}} \over {{}^n{C_r}}} = {2 \over 5}$
$ \Rightarrow 7r = 2n + 2$ ...(i)
${{{}^n{C_r}} \over {{}^n{C_{r + 1}}}} = {5 \over {12}}$
$ \Rightarrow 7r = 5n - 12$ ...(ii)
On solving (i) and (ii) we get n = 118
