COMEDK2024MathematicsBinomial Theorem
The coefficient of x²⁴ in the expansion of (1-x^5 )¹⁰ is
Options
- A0
- B¹⁰ C₅
- C¹⁰ C₄
- D110
Correct answer
A. 0
Step-by-step solution
aligned & General term of (x+y)^n= ^n C_r(x)^ n-r (y)^r & T_ r+1 = ¹⁰ C_r(1)^ 10-r (-x^5 )^r= _ ¹⁰ C_r(-1)^r(x)^ 5 r & 5 r=24 r=4.8 aligned r cannot be in fraction means no such terms are possible. Coefficient of x²⁴=0
