If in the expansion of 1 + x m 1 - x n , the coefficients of x and x 2 are 3 and – 6 respectively, then the value of m is m , n ∈ N

Options

  1. A6
  2. B9
  3. C12
  4. D24

Correct answer

C. 12

Step-by-step solution

Given expansion = 1 + m C 1 x + m C 2 x 2 + . . . . 1 - n C 1 x + n C 2 x 2 - . . . . Coefficient of x 2 = - n C 1 + m C 1 = m - n = 3 Coefficient of x 2 = n C 2 - m C 1 m C 1 + m C 2 = n n - 1 2 - m n + m m - 1 2 ⇒ n n - 1 2 - m n + m m - 1 2 = - 6 n = m – 3 ⇒ m - 3 m - 4 2 + m m - 1 2 - m m - 3 = - 6 ⇒ m 2 - 7 m + 12 + m 2 - m - 2 m 2 + 6 m = - 1 2 ⇒ - 2 m = - 24 ⇒ m = 1 2
