Options
- A210
- B150
- C240
- D120
Correct answer
A. 210
Step-by-step solution
aligned & ( (x+1) (x^ 2 3 +1-x^ 1 3 ) - (x-1) (x-x^ 1 2 ) )¹⁰ & = ( (x^ 1 3 +1 )- ( x +1 x ) )¹⁰ & = (x^ 1 3 - 1 x )¹⁰ & T_ r+1 = ¹⁰ C_r(x)^ 10-r 3 (-1)^r(x)^ - r 2 & 10-r 3 - r 2 =0 & (20-2 r)-3 r=0 & r¹⁰=4 & ¹⁰ C₄(-1)^4=210 aligned
