Question 31. The greatest integer less than or equal to (2+1)6 is
 
  1.    196
  2.    197
  3.    198
  4.    199
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 197
:
B
Let(2+1)6 = k + f, where k is integral part and f
the fraction (0 ≤ f < 1).
Let(21)6 = f, (0 < f < 1),
Since 0 < (2 - 1) < 1
Now, k + f + f' =(2+1)6 +(21)6
= 2{6C0.23+6C2.22+6C4.2+6C6} = 198 ..........(i)
∴ f + f' = 198 - k = an integer
But, 0≤ f < 1 and 0 < f' < 1 ⇒ 0 < (f + f') < 2
⇒ f + f' = 1, ( ∵ f + f' is an integer)
∴ By (i), l = 198 - (f + f') = 198 - 1 = 197.

Answer: Option B. ->  n(n−1).....(n−r+2)(r−1)!an−r+1(2x)r−1
:
B
rth term of (a+2x)n isnCr1(a)nr+1(2x)r1
= n!(nr+1)!(r1)!anr+1(2x)r1
=n(n1).....(nr+2)(r1)!anr+1(2x)r1
Question 33. If (1+ax)n = 1 + 8x + 24 x2 + ......, then the value of a and n is
 
  1.    2, 4
  2.    2, 3
  3.    3, 6
  4.    1, 2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 2, 4
:
A
As given (1+ax)n = 1 + 8x + 24x2 + .........
⇒ 1 + n1ax + n(n1)1.2a2x2 + ......... = 1 + 8x + 24x2 + ...........
⇒na = 8, n(n1)1.2a2 = 24⇒ na(n-1)a = 48
⇒8(8 -a) = 48⇒ 8 - a = 6⇒ a = 2⇒ n = 4.
Question 34. In the polynomial (x - 1)(x - 2)(x - 3)............... .........(x - 100), the coefficient of x99 is
 
  1.    5050
  2.    -5050
  3.    100
  4.    99
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> -5050
:
B
(x - 1)(x - 2)(x - 3)..............(x - 100)
Number of terms = 100;
∴ Coefficient of x99
= (x - 1)(x - 2)(x - 3)........(x -100)
= (-1 - 2 - 3 - .......... - 100) = -(1 + 2 +.........+ 100)
= - 100×1012 = - 5050.
Question 35. The middle term in the expansion of (1+x)2n is

  3.    1.3.5.......(2n−1)n!xn
  4.    1.3.5.......(2n−1)n!2nxn
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 1.3.5.......(2n−1)n!2nxn
:
D
Middle term of (1+2x)2n is Tn+1 =2nCnxn
= (2n)!n!n!xn = 1.3.5.......(2n1)n! 2nxn.
Question 36. Middle term in the expansion of  (1+3x+3x2+x3)6 is
  1.    4th
  2.    3rd
  3.    10th
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 10th
:
C
(1+3x+3x2+x3)6 = ((1+x)3)6 = (1+x)18
Hence the middle term is 10th.
Question 37. The value of x in the expression [x+xlog10(x)]5, if the third term in the expansion is 10,00,000
  1.    10
  2.    11
  3.    12
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 10
:
A
T3 =5C2. x2(xlog10x)3 = 106
Put5C2 = 10 [ ∵log1010=1].
If x = 10, then 103.102.1 = 105 is satisfied.
Hence x = 10.
Question 38. If the coefficient of x7 in (ax2+1bx)11 is equal to the coefficient of  x7 in (ax1bx2)11, then ab =  
 
  1.    1
  2.    12
  3.    2
  4.    3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 1
:
A
In the expansion of (ax2+1bx)11, the general
term is
Tr+1 =11Cr(ax2)11r(1bx)r =11Cr(a)11r(1br)x223r
For x7, we must have 22 - 3r = 7 ⇒ r = 5, and
the coefficient of x7 =11C5.a11515) =11C5 a6b5
Similarly, in the expansion of (ax1bx2)11, the
general term is Tr+1 =11Cr(1)r a11rbr.x113r
For x7 we must have, 11 - 3r = -7 ⇒ r = 6, and
the coefficient of x7 is11C6 a5b6 =11C5 a5b6.
As given,11C5 a6b5 =11C5 a5b6⇒ ab = 1.
Question 39. If the coefficient of the middle term in the expansion of (1+x)2n+2 is p and the coefficients of middle terms in the expansion of (1+x)2n+1 are q and r, then
  1.    p + q = r
  2.    p + r = q
  3.    p = q + r
  4.    p + q + r = 0
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> p = q + r
:
C
Since (n+2)th term is the middle term in the
expansion of (1+x)2n+2, therefore p =2n+2Cn+1.
Since (n+1)th and (n+2)th terms are middle terms in the expansion of (1+x)2n+1,
thereforeq =2n+1Cn and r =2n+1C2n+1.
But ,2n+1Cn +2n+1Cn+1 =2n+2Cn+1
∴ q + r = p
Question 40. If P is a prime number, then np - n is divisible by p when n is a 
 
  1.    Natural number greater than 1
  2.    Irrational number
  3.    Complex number
  4.    Odd number
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Natural number greater than 1
:
A
np - n is divisible by p for any natural number
greater than 1. It is Fermet's theorem.
Trick:Let n = 4 and p = 2
Then (4)2 - 4 = 16 - 4 = 12, it is divisible by 2.
So,it is true for any natural number greater than 1.
