## Intermediate 2nd Year Maths 2A Binomial Theorem Important Questions

Question 1.
Find the number of terms in the expression of (2x + 3y + z)7 [Mar. 14, 13, 07]
Solution:
Number of terms in (a + b + c)n are $$\frac{(n+1)(n+2)}{2}$$, where n is a positive integer. Hence number of terms in (2x + 3y + z)7 are $$\frac{(7+1)(7+2)}{2}=\frac{8 \times 9}{2}$$ = 36

Question 2.
Prove that C0 + 2 . C1 + 4 . C2 + 8 . C3 + …………… + 2n . Cn = 3n [A.P. Mar. 15; May 07]
Solution:
L.H.S. = C0 + 2 . C1 + 4 . C2 + 8 . C3 + …………… + 2n . Cn
= 0 + C1(2) + C2 (2)2 + C3 (23) + …………… + Cn . 2n
= (1 + 2)n = 3n
Note: (1 + x)n = C0 + C1 . x + C2 . x2 + …………… + Cn . xn

Question 3.
If 22Cr is the largest binomial coefficient in the expansion of (1 + x)22, find the value of 13Cr. [A.P. Mar. 15; May 07]
Solution:
Here n = 22 is an even integer. There is only one largest binomial coefficient and it is
nC(n/2) = 22C11 = 22Cr ⇒ r = 11
13Cr = 13C11 = 13C2 = $$\frac{13 \times 12}{1 \times 2}$$ = 78

Question 4.
Write down and simplify 6th term in ($$\frac{2x}{3}$$ + $$\frac{3y}{2}$$)9 [May 13]
Solution:
6th term in ($$\frac{2x}{3}$$ + $$\frac{3y}{2}$$)9
The general term in ($$\frac{2x}{3}$$ + $$\frac{3y}{2}$$)9 is
Tr+1 = 9Cr ($$\frac{2x}{3}$$)9-r ($$\frac{3y}{2}$$)r
Put r = 5
T6 = 9C5 ($$\frac{2x}{3}$$)4 ($$\frac{3y}{2}$$)5
= 9C5 ($$\frac{2}{3}$$)4 ($$\frac{3}{2}$$)5 x4 y5
= $$\frac{9 \times 8 \times 7 \times 6}{1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 4} \frac{\left(2^{4}\right)}{3^{4}} \cdot \frac{3^{5}}{2^{5}} \cdot x^{4} y^{5}$$
= 189 x4y5

Question 5.
If the coefficients of (2r + 4)th term and (3r + 4)th term in the expansion of (1 + x)21 are equal, find r. [T.S. Mar.15]
Solution:
T2r+4 in (1 + x)21 is
= 21C2r+3 (x)2r+3 ………………… (1)
T3r+4 in (1 + x)21 is
= 21C3r+3 . (x)3r+3 ……………….. (2)
⇒ Coefficients are equal
21C2r+3 = 21C3r+3
⇒ 21 = (2r + 3) + (3r + 3)
(or)
2r + 3 = 3r + 3
⇒ 5r = 15
⇒ r = 3 (or) r = 0 .
Hence r = 0, 3.

Question 6.
Fin the sum of the infinite series 1 + $$\frac{1}{3}$$ + $$\frac{1.3}{3.6}$$ + $$\frac{1.3.5}{3.6.9}$$ + …………… [T.S. Mar. 15]
Solution:
The series can be written as
S = 1 + $$\frac{1}{1}$$. $$\frac{1}{3}$$ + $$\frac{1.3}{3.6}$$ ($$\frac{1}{3}$$)2 + $$\frac{1.3.5}{1.2.3}$$ ($$\frac{1}{3}$$)3 + ……………..
The series of the right is of the form
1 + $$\frac{p}{1}$$ ($$\frac{x}{q}$$) + $$\frac{p(p+q)}{1.2}$$ ($$\frac{x}{q}$$)2 + $$\frac{p(p+q)(p+2 q)}{1.2 .3}$$ ($$\frac{x}{q}$$)3 + ……………
Here p = 1, q = 2, $$\frac{x}{q}$$ = $$\frac{1}{3}$$ ⇒ x = $$\frac{2}{3}$$
The sum of the given series
S = (1 – x)-p/q
= (1 – $$\frac{2}{3}$$)-1/2 = ($$\frac{1}{3}$$)-1/2 = $$\sqrt{3}$$

Question 7.
Find the set E of the value of x for which the binomial expansions for the (a + bx)r are valid. [Mar. 08]
Solution:
(4 + 9x)-2/3 = 4-2/3 [1 + $$\frac{9x}{4}$$]-2/3
The binomial expansion of (4 + 9x)-2/3 is valid
When |$$\frac{9x}{4}$$| < 1
⇒ |x| < $$\frac{4}{9}$$
⇒ x ∈ ($$\frac{-4}{9}$$, $$\frac{4}{9}$$)
i.e., E = ($$\frac{-4}{9}$$, $$\frac{4}{9}$$)

Question 8.
If the 2nd, 3rd and 4th terms in the expansion of (a + x)n are respectively 240, 720,
1080, find a, x, n. [T.S. Mar. 16]
Solution:
T2 = 240 ⇒ nC1 an-1 x = 240 …………….. (1)
T3 = 720 ⇒ nC2 an-2 x2 = 720 …………… (2)
T4 = 1080 ⇒ nC3 an-3 x3 = 1080 …………… (3)
\frac{(2)}{(1)} \Rightarrow \frac{{ }^{n} C_{2} a^{n-2} x^{2}}{{ }^{n} C_{1} a^{n-1} x}=\begin{aligned} &720 \\ &240 \end{aligned}
⇒ $$\frac{n-1}{2} \frac{x}{a}$$ = 3 ⇒ (n – 1)x = 6a …………………. (4)
$$\frac{(3)}{(2)} \Rightarrow \frac{{ }^{n} C_{3} a^{n-3} x^{3}}{{ }^{n} C_{2} a^{n-2} x^{2}}=\frac{1080}{720}$$
⇒ $$\frac{n-2}{3} \frac{x}{a}=\frac{3}{2}$$
⇒ 2(n – 2)x = 9a …………………… (5)
$$\frac{(4)}{(5)} \Rightarrow \frac{(n-1) x}{2(n-2) x}=\frac{6 a}{9 a} \Rightarrow \frac{n-1}{2 n-4}=\frac{2}{3}$$
⇒ 3n – 3 = 4n – 8
⇒ n = 5
From (4), (5 – 1) x = 6a ⇒ 4x = 6a
⇒ x = $$\frac{3}{2}$$ a
Substitute x = $$\frac{3}{2}$$ a, n = 5 in (1)
5C1 . a4 . $$\frac{3}{2}$$ a = 240
5 × $$\frac{3}{2}$$ a5 = 240
a5 = $$\frac{480}{15}$$ = 32 = 25
∴ a = 2, x = $$\frac{3}{2}$$ a = $$\frac{3}{2}$$ (2) = 3
∴ a = 2, x = 3, n = 5.

Question 9.
If the coefficients of rth, (r + 1)th, and (r + 2)nd, terms in the expansion of (1 + x)n, are in A.P. then show that n2 – (4r + 1)n + 4r2 – 2 = 0. [T.S. Mar. 15, 08]
Solution:
Coefficient of Tr = nCr-1
Coefficient of Tr+1 = nCr
Coefficient of Tr+2 = nCr+1
Given nCr-1, nCr, nCr+1 are in A.P.
⇒ 2 . nCr = nCr-1 + nCr+1

⇒ (2n – 3r + 2) (r + 1) = (n – r) (n – r + 1)
⇒ 2nr + 2n – 3r2 – 3r + 2r + 2 = n2 – 2nr + r2 + n – r
⇒ n2 – 4nr + 4r2 – n – 2 = 0
∴ n2 – (4r + 1)n + 4r2 – 2 = 0

Question 10.
If n is a postive integer, prove that $$\sum_{r=1}^{n} r^{3}\left(\frac{{ }^{n} C_{r}}{{ }^{n} C_{r-1}}\right)^{2}=\frac{(n)(n+1)^{2}(n+2)}{12}$$ [Mar. 13]

= (n + 1)2 Σ r – 2(n + 1) Σ r2 + Σ r3
= (n + 1)2 $$\frac{(n)(n+1)}{2}$$

Question 11.

(i) (2 + 3x)-2/3
(ii) (5 + x)3/2
(iii) (7 + 3x)-5
(iv) (4 – $$\frac{x}{3}$$)-1/2 [A.P. Mar. 17; Mar. 16; Mar. 11]
Solution:
(i) (2 + 3x)-2/3 = [2(1 + $$\frac{3}{2}$$x)]-2/3
= 2-2/3 (1 + $$\frac{3}{2}$$x)-2/3
∴ The binomial expansion of (2 + 3x)-2/3 is valid when |$$\frac{3}{2}$$x| < 1
(i.e.,) |x| < $$\frac{2}{3}$$
(i.e.,) x ∈ (-$$\frac{2}{3}$$, $$\frac{2}{3}$$)

ii) (5 + x)3/2 = [5 (1 + $$\frac{x}{5}$$)]3/2 [T.S. Mar. 17]
= 53/2 (1 + $$\frac{x}{5}$$)]3/2
∴ The binomial expansion of (5 + x)3/2 is valid when $$\frac{x}{5}$$ < 1
(i.e.,) |x| < 5
(i.e.,) x ∈ (-5, 5)

iii) (7 + 3x)-5 = [7 (1 + $$\frac{3}{7}$$ x)]-5
= 7-5 (1 + $$\frac{3}{7}$$ x)]-5
(7 + 3x)-5 is valid when $$\frac{3x}{7}$$ < 1
⇒ |x| < $$\frac{7}{3}$$ ⇒ x ∈ ($$\frac{-7}{3}$$, $$\frac{7}{3}$$)

iv) (4 – $$\frac{x}{3}$$)-1/2 = [4(1 – $$\frac{x}{3}$$)]-1/2
(4 – $$\frac{x}{3}$$)-1/2 is valid when $$\frac{-x}{12}$$ < 1

Solution:

⇒ 3x + 4 = 3$$\sqrt{3}$$
Squaring on both sides
(3x + 4)2 = (3$$\sqrt{3}$$)2
⇒ 9x2 + 24x + 16 = 27
⇒ 9x2 + 24x = 11

Question 14.

$$\frac{\mathrm{n}+1}{2}$$ = $$\frac{7+1}{2}$$ = 4, $$\frac{\mathrm{n}+3}{2}$$ = $$\frac{7+3}{2}$$ = 5
∴ 4th, 5th terms are middle terms.
∴ T4 = T3 + 1 = 7C3 (2x)7 – 3 (3y)3 = 7C3 24 33.x4.y3
T5 = T4 + 1 = 7C4(2x)7-4(3y)4 = 7C4. 23.34. x3. y4
