The term independent of x in the expansion of ( 1 - x ) 2 ( x + 1 x ) 10 is
Options
- A10 C 5
- B10 C 6
- C11 C 5
- D17 C 7
Correct answer
C. 11 C 5
Step-by-step solution
We have, ( 1 - x ) 2 ( x + 1 x ) 10 = 1 − 2 x + x 2 x 10 + C 10 1 x 9 · 1 x + C 10 2 x 8 × 1 x 2 + ... + 1 x 10 = 1 − 2 x + x 2 x 10 + C 10 1 x 8 + C 10 2 x 6 + ... + 10 C 9 × 1 x 8 + 1 x 10 So, the term independent of x is C 10 5 + − 2 × 0 + C 10 6 = C 10 5 + C 10 6 = 11 C 5
