If the coefficients of x ^ 7 in (a x ^ 2 + (1)/(2bx)) ^ 11 and x ^...

If the coefficients of x7{x}^{7} in (ax2+12bx)11{\left(a{x}^{2} + \dfrac{1}{2bx}\right)}^{11} and x−7{x}^{- 7} in (ax−13bx2)11{\left(ax - \dfrac{1}{3b{x}^{2}}\right)}^{11} are equal, then

Options

  1. A729ab=32729ab = 32
  2. B32ab=72932ab = 729
  3. C64ab=24364ab = 243
  4. D243ab=64243ab = 64

Correct answer

A. 729ab=32729ab = 32

Step-by-step solution

The coefficient of x7{x}^{7} in (ax2+12bx)11{\left(a{x}^{2} + \dfrac{1}{2bx}\right)}^{11} and (ax−13bx2)11{\left(ax - \dfrac{1}{3b{x}^{2}}\right)}^{11} are equal, then

Tr+1=11Cr(ax2)11−r(12bx)r{T}_{r + 1}{=}^{11}{C}_{r}{\left(a{x}^{2}\right)}^{11 - r}{\left(\dfrac{1}{2bx}\right)}^{r}

=11Cr(a)11−r(12b)rx22−3r{=}^{11}{C}_{r}{\left(a\right)}^{11 - r}{\left(\dfrac{1}{2b}\right)}^{r}{x}^{22 - 3r}

Now solving 22−3r=7⇒r=522 - 3r = 7 ⇒ r = 5

Coefficient of x−7{x}^{- 7} in (ax−13bx2)11{\left(ax - \dfrac{1}{3b{x}^{2}}\right)}^{11}

Tr+1=11Cr(ax)11−r(−13bx2)r{T}_{r + 1}{=}^{11}{C}_{r}{\left(ax\right)}^{11 - r}{\left(- \dfrac{1}{3b{x}^{2}}\right)}^{r}

=11Cra11−r(−13b)rx11−3r{=}^{11}{C}_{r}{a}^{11 - r}{\left(- \dfrac{1}{3b}\right)}^{r}{x}^{11 - 3r}

Now solving 11−3r=−7⇒r=611 - 3r = - 7 ⇒ r = 6

Now equating coefficient of x7{x}^{7} and x−7{x}^{- 7} we get,

∴11C5(a)6(12b)5=11C6a5(−13b)6∴ {}^{11}{C}_{5}{\left(a\right)}^{6}{\left(\dfrac{1}{2b}\right)}^{5}{=}^{11}{C}_{6}{a}^{5}{\left(- \dfrac{1}{3b}\right)}^{6}

⇒36ab=32⇒ {3}^{6}ab = 32

⇒729ab=32⇒ 729ab = 32

Hence this is the correct option.
