The coefficient of x 20 in the expansion of 1 + x 2 40 x 2 + 2 + 1 x 2 - 5 is
Options
- A30 C 10
- B30 C 15
- C30 C 25
- D30 C 20
Correct answer
C. 30 C 25
Step-by-step solution
1 + x 2 40 x 2 + 1 x 2 + 2 ⋅ x ⋅ 1 x - 5 = 1 + x 2 40 x + 1 x 2 - 5 = 1 + x 2 40 x 2 + 1 x - 10 = 1 + x 2 40 1 + x 2 - 10 x - 10 = x 10 1 + x 2 30 Coefficient of x 20 in x 10 1 + x 2 30 = coefficient of x 10 in 1 + x 2 30 1 + x 2 30 = ∑ r = 0 30 C r 30 x 2 r 2 r = 10 ⇒ r = 5 So, the required coefficient is 30 C 5 = 30 C 25
