Question 1.

Question 2.
Expand : (2x – 3)6 (NCERT)
Solution:

Question 3.

Question 4.

Question 5.

Question 6.
![]()
Solution:

Question 7.

Question 8.
If coefficient of x2 and x3 in the expansion of (3 + ax)9 are equal, the value of a.
Solution:

Question 9.
Find the coefficient of x5 in the expansion of (x + 3)8
Solution:
Suppose x5 appears in (r + 1)th term Tr+1 = nC1xn-rar
Here n = 8, x = x, a = 3
Tr+1 = 8Cr(x)8 – r(3)r
For the coefficient of x5,
8 – r = 5
=> r = 3
T3+1 = 8C3(3)3
![]()
= 1512 × x5
Hence coefficient of x5 is 1512.
Question 10.
Find the coefficient of a5b7 in the expansion of (a – 2b)12.
Solution:

Question 11.
If the 17th and 18th terms in the expansion of (2 + a)50 are equal, then find the value of a. (NCERT)
Solution:
In the expansion of (x + a)n
Tr+1 = nCr xn – r ar
Here n = 50, x = 2, a = a
T17 = T16 + 1 = 50C16 (2)50 – 16 (a)16
⇒ T17 = 50C16 (2)34 (a)16
and T18 = T17 + 1 = 50C17 (2)50 – 17 (a)17
= 50C17 (2)33 (a)17

Question 12.
Prove that the value of the middle term in the expansion of (1+x)2n is
2n xn
Solution:

Question 13.
In the expansion of (x + 1)n, the coefficient of the (r – 1)th, rth and (r + 1)th terms are in the ratio 1 : 3 : 5, then find the value of n and r.
Solution:
In the expansion of (x + 1)n,
Tr + 1 = nCrxn – r(1)r
Tr – 1 = Tr – 2 + 1 = nCr – 2(x)n – (r – 2)(1)r – 2
Coefficient of Tr – 1th term = nCr – 2
Tr = Tr – 1 + 1 = nCr – 1(x)n – (r – 1)(1)r – 1
Coefficient of Trthterm = nCr – 1
Tr + 1 = nCr xn – r (1)r
Coefficient of Tr+1th term = nCr

Put n = 4r – 5 from equation (1) in equation (2),
3(4r – 5) – 8r = – 3
⇒ 12r – 15 – 8r = – 3
⇒ 4r = 12
∴ r = 3
Put r = 3 in equation (2),
n – 4 x 3 = – 5
⇒ n = 12 – 5
⇒ n = l
n = 7, r = 3
Question 14.
Prove that the coefficient of xn in the expansion of (1 + x)2n of in the expansion of (1 + x)2n – 1.
Solution:
In the expansion of (x + a)n
Tr+1 = nCr xn – r ar
Here x = 1, a = x, n = 2n
Tr+1 = 2nCr(1)2n – r(x)r
For the coefficient of xn, put r = n,
Tn+1 = 2nCn(a)2n – n(x)n
and T18 = T17 + 1 = 50C17 (2)50 – 17 (a)17
= (2nCn) xn
∴ In the expansion of (1 + x)2n, the coefficient of xn = 2nCn …. (1)
and in the expansion of (1 + x)2n – 1, x = 1, a = x, n = 2n – 1
∴ Tr+1 = 2nCr (1)2n – 1 -r (x)n
For the coefficient of xn, put r = n, ‘
We get Tn+1 = 2n – 1Cn xn
The coefficient of xn in the expansion of (1 + x)2n – 1 = n – 1Cn

∴ The coefficient of xn in the expansion of (1 + x)2n
= 2 x The coefficient of xn in the expansion of (1 + x)2n, [from equation (1) and (2)]
