Options
- A100 ¹⁰⁰ C ₄₉- ¹⁰⁰ C ₄₈
- B¹⁰⁰ C ₅₀+ ¹⁰¹ C ₄₉
- C^ 100 ¹⁰¹ C ₄₉- ¹⁰¹ C ₅₀
- D100 ¹⁰⁰ C ₄₉- ¹⁰⁰ C ₅₀
Correct answer
C. ^ 100 ¹⁰¹ C ₄₉- ¹⁰¹ C ₅₀
Step-by-step solution
Let 1 + x = r S = 1 r + 2 r^2 + 3 r^3 + + 100r¹⁰⁰ ......(1) (AGP) rS = 1 r^2 + 2 r^3 + + 99r¹⁰⁰ + 100r¹⁰¹ ......(2) (1) - (2) gives S = - (1+x)¹⁰¹ x^2 + 1 x^2 + 100(1+x)¹⁰¹ x coefficient x⁴⁸ in S = - coefficient of x⁴⁸ in (1+x)¹⁰¹ x^2 + 100 Coefficient of x⁴⁸ in (1+x)¹⁰¹ x = 100 101 49 - 101 50
