The number of terms in the expansion of 1 + x 101 1 - x + x 2 100 in powers of x is
Options
- A301
- B302
- C101
- D202
Correct answer
D. 202
Step-by-step solution
1 + x 1 0 1 1 + x 2 - x 1 0 0 = 1 + x 1 + x 1 0 0 1 - x + x 2 1 0 0 = 1 + x 1 + x 3 1 0 0 ∵ a 3 + b 3 = a + b a 2 - a b + b 2 1 + x 3 1 0 0 has 101 terms 1 + x 1 + x 3 1 0 0 = 1 1 + x 3 1 0 0 + x 1 + x 3 1 0 0 ⇒ No. of terms = 101 + 101 = 202
