Question 1.
Write the middle term in the expansion of the following; (3 score each)
Answer:
i) Here 7 is an odd number. Therefore there are two middle terms (7+12=4)th and (7+12+1=5)th, ie; 4th and 5th terms in the above expansion.
ii) Here 10 is an even number. Therefore middle terms (102+1=6)th term in the above expansion.
iii) Here 17 is an odd number. Therefore there are two middle terms (17+12=9)th, ie; 9th and 10th terms in the above expansion. (x+2√x)17.
Question 2.
Find the term independent of x in the following expansion. (3 score each)
Answer:
i) General term = tr+1 = (-1)r12Cr(x)12-r (1x)r
=(-1)r12Cr(x)12-r-r = (-1)r12Cr(x)12-2r
Term independent of x in the expansion will be the term in which the power of x is zero, ie; 12 – 2r = 0 ⇒ 12 = 2r
⇒ r = 6
t7 = (-1)612C6x12-2(6)
= 12×11×10×9×8×71×2×3×4×5×6 = 924.
ii) General term = tr+1 =(-1)r9Cr(x2)9-r(1x)r
= (-1)r9Cr(x)18-2r-r = (-1)r9Cr(x)18-3r
Term independent of x in the expansion will be the term in which the power of x is zero.
ie; 18 – 3r = 0 ⇒ 18 = 3r ⇒ r = 6
t7 = (-1)69C6x18-3(6)
= 9×8×71×2×3 = 84.
iii) General term = tr+1
Term independent of x in the expansion will be the term in which the power of x is zero.
iv) General term = tr+1
Term independent of x in the expansion will be the term in which the power of x is zero.
Question 3.
Find the coefficient of x10 in the expansion of (2x2−3x)11.
Answer:
General term = tr+1
Given; 22 – 3r = 10 ⇒ 12 = 3r ⇒ r = 4
t5 = (-1)411C4211-4 x22-3(4) 34
= 11C42734x10
Therefore the coefficient of x10 is 11C42734.
Question 4.
Find the coefficient of a5b7 in the expansion of (a – 2b)12.
Answer:
General term = tr+1 = (-1)r12Cr(a)12-r(2b)r
= (-1)r12Cr(a)12-r2rbr
The term containing a5b7 is obtained by putting r = 7
⇒ t8 = (-1)712C7(a)12-727b7
Therefore the coefficient of a5b7 is
(-1)712C727 = -12C727.
Question 5.
Find the coefficient of (3 score each)
- x11 in the expansion of (x−2x2)17
- x9 in the expansion of (3x2+5x3)12
- x20 in the expansion of (3x3−2x2)40
Answer:
1. General term
The term containing x11 is obtained by
17 – 3r = 11 ⇒ 6 = 3r ⇒ r = 2
⇒ t3 = (-1)217C2 (x)17-3(2) 22 = 17C2(x)11 × 4
Therefore the coefficient of x11 is 17C2 × 4
= 17×161×2 × 4 = 544
2. General term
The term containing x9 is obtained by
24 – 5r = 9 ⇒ 15 = 5r ⇒ r = 3
⇒ t4 = 12C3(3)12-3(x)24-5(3)53
= 12C3(3)9(x)953
Therefore the coefficient of x9 is 12C3(3)953.
3. General term = tr+1
= (-1)r40Cr(3x3)40-r (2x2)r
= (-1)r40Cr(3)40-rx120-3r (2)r x-2r
= (-1)r40Cr(3)40-rx120-5r(2)r
The term containing x20 is obtained by
120 – 5r = 20 ⇒ 100 = 5r ⇒ r = 20
⇒ t21 = (-1)2040C20(3)40-20(x) 120-5(20) 220
= 40C20(3)20(x)20220
Therefore the coefficient of x20 is 40C20(3) 20 220.
Question 6.
- Find the term independent of x in the expansion of (x2+2x)6 (3)
- If the middle term in the expansion of (xm+2x)6 is independent of x, find the value of m.
Answer:
1. tr+1 = nCran-rbr = 6Cr(x2)6-r(2x)r
= 6Crx12-2rx-r(2)r = 6Crx12-3r(2)r
For term independent of x;
12 – 3r = 0 r = 4
t5 = 6C4(2)4 = 6C2 × 16 = 6×51×2 × 16 = 240
2. m = 1

Question 3.
If the coefficient of x2 in the expansion of (1 + x)n is 6 then the positive value of n.
Answer:
tr+1 = nCrxr, the term containing x2 is obtained by putting r= 2.
nC2 = 6 ⇒ n(n−1)2 = 6 ⇒ n(n -1) = 12
⇒ n(n -1) = 4 × 3 ⇒ n = 3.
