Example 21 The ratio of the coefficient of x's to the term independent of x in : (2+2)"s : (A) 1232 (B) 1:32 (C) 32:12 (D) 32:1 Is Solution (B) is the correct choice. Let T,., be the general term of (# +3) +80, : 1.,=¥6, (2) 3 = 15C, (2)r x80 0): Now, for the coefficient of term containing x's, ° 30-3r=15, ie, r=5 Therefore, '“C, (2)° is the coefficient of x" (from (1)) To find the term independent of x, put 30 ~ 3-=0 Thus “C,, 2" is the term independent of x (from (1)) Gye 1 Now the ratio is $y = TS = Cyo2Example 20. The number of terms in the expansion of (a+b +c)", where n € N is (n+l) (n+ 2) > (B) n+1 (C) n+2 (D) (n+ 1)n Solution A is the correct choice. We have a+b +cy =[a+ (b+ or =a" t"C, a) (b +0)! $C, a’ -2(b+ 9? +2. #°C, (b+ oy" Further, expanding each term of R.H.S., we note that First term consist of | term. b Second term on simplification gives 2 terms. Third term on expansion gives 3 terms. Similarly, fourth term on expansion gives 4 terms and so on. The total number of terms = 1 +2+3 +... +(n+1) _ +) (+2) - 2 3 Qx° ve By Example 7 Find the term independent of x in the expansion of (f ~ Solution Let (r+ 1)® term be independent of x which is given by rae (B) (S) = 16, ( =o 32 2 27x F Since the term is independent of x, we"have 10 —-2r = 10x9 1 5 ie 2xi 9x12 12Example 17 The number of signals that can be sent by 6 flags of different colours taking one or more at a time is (A) 63 (B) 1956 (C) 720 (D) 21 Solution The correct answer is B. Number of signals using one flag = “P, =30 Number of signals using three flags =P, = 120 Number of signals using two flags =P Number of signals using four flags =P , = 360 Number of signals using five flags Number of signals using all six flags = “P, = 720 Therefore, the total number of signals using one or more flags at a time is 6 +30 + 120 +360 +720 + 720 = 1956 (Using addition principle). 31, A five digit number divisible by 3 is to be formed using the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3,4 and 5 without repetitions. The total number of ways this can be done is (A) 216 (B) 600 (C) 240 (D) 3125 (Hint: 5 digit numbers can be formed using digits 0, 1, 2,4, 5 or by using digits 1, 2, 3. 4, 5 since sum of digits in these cases is divisible by 3. Example 5 Find the sum of first 24 terms of the A.P. a,, @),d,,.. if it is known that a, +a, +4, +4, +4, +4, = 225. wo Solution We know that in an A.P,, the sum of the terms equidistant from the beginning and end is always the same and is equal to the sum of first and last term. Therefore d=b-a ie, a, + ay = a, + dy = ay + ay, It is given that (a, + a.) + (a, + a,,) + (a,, + @,.) = 225 = (a+ 4,)+@,+4,) + @, +a,) =225 5 3 (a, + a,)= 225 => a,+a,,= 75 We know that S,=5[4+/], where ais Be first term and /s the last term of an A.P. 24 Thus, Su = FT [a +a,)= 12 * 75 = 900Example 21 The minimum value of the expression 3° + 3'~", x € R, is (A) 0 8) 5 ©3 (D) wh Solution (D) is the correct answer. We know A.M. 2 GM. for positive numbers. 38 43h" Therefore, 5 apt sae +3 > fe 2 Y => +36 > OR 8.8 Particles of masses 2M, mand Mare respectively at points A, B and C with AB = % (BC), mis much-much smaller than Mand at time t= 0, they are all at rest (Fig. 8.1).
