Options
- A8
- B9
- C80 9
- D29 3
Correct answer
C. 80 9
Step-by-step solution
General term of (2 x^3- 1 3 x^2 )^5 is T_ r+1 = ^5 C_r (2 x^3 )^ 5-r ( -1 3 x^2 )^r=(2)^ 5-r ( -1 3 )^r ^5 C_r x^ 15-3 r-2 r =(2)^ 5-r ( -1 3 )^r ^5 C_r x^ 15-5 r For coefficient of x^5 put r=2 Coefficient of x^5=2^3 ( -1 3 )^2 C₂= 8 9 5! 2!3! = 80 9
