JEE Main2016MathematicsBinomial TheoremActual
If the number of terms in the expansion of 1 - 2 x + 4 y 2 n , x , y ≠ 0 , is 28 , then the sum of the coefficients of all the terms in this expansion is
Options
- A243
- B729
- C64
- D2187
Correct answer
B. 729
Step-by-step solution
1 - 2 x + 4 y 2 n We know, if having three variables then total number of terms would be n + 1 n + 2 2 ⇒ n + 1 n + 2 2 = 28 ∴       n + 1 n + 2   = 56 Which gives n = 6 , and sum of coefficients would be 1 - 2 + 4 6 = 3 6 = 729 .
