The number of rational terms in the binomial expansion of 4 1 4 + 5 1 6 120 is_______.
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
We have, 4 1 4 + 5 1 6 120 T r + 1 = C r 120 4 1 4 120 - r 5 r 6 ⇒ T r + 1 = C r 120 2 120 - r 2 5 r 6 For rational terms r = 6 λ ,   0 ≤ r ≤ 120 , hence r = 0 ,   6 ,   12 ,   . . . ,   120 So, total number of rational terms are 21 .
