### Related Formula textSum of binomial coefficients: sum_k=0^n binomnk x^k = (1 + x)^n textShifted binomial sum: sum_k=1^n binomnk x^k = (1+x)^n - 1 ### Core Logic We split the summation into two parts, express each as a binomial series expansion, and equate the resulting algebraic fraction to solve for alpha. ### Step 1: Split the summation The general term inside the summation can be written as: left( frac10^r+1 - 110^r right) = 10 - frac110^r = 10 - 10 left( frac110 right)^r+1 Substitute this back into the sum: S = sum_r=0^10 left[ 10 - 10 left( frac110 right)^r+1 right] binom11r+1 S = 10 sum_r=0^10 binom11r+1 - 10 sum_r=0^10 binom11r+1 left( frac110 right)^r+1 ### Step 2: Evaluate both parts of the sum For the first part, let s = r+1: sum_r=0^10 binom11r+1 = sum_s=1^11 binom11s = 2^11 - 1 For the second part, using s = r+1: sum_r=0^10 binom11r+1 left( frac110 right)^r+1 = sum_s=1^11 binom11s left( frac110 right)^s = left( 1 + frac110 right)^11 - 1 = left( frac1110 right)^11 - 1 ### Step 3: Combine and find alpha Multiply both parts by 10: S = 10 left( 2^11 - 1 right) - 10 left[ left( frac1110 right)^11 - 1 right] S = 10 cdot 2^11 - 10 - 10 cdot frac11^1110^11 + 10 = 10 cdot 2^11 - frac11^1110^10 Express the first term with a denominator of 10^10: 10 cdot 2^11 = frac10^11 cdot 2^1110^10 = frac20^1110^10 Thus, the total sum is: S = frac20^11 - 11^1110^10 Comparing this with fracalpha^11 - 11^1110^10, we find: alpha = 20 ### Pattern Recognition Binomial base scaling: Whenever you see a sum of the form sum a^r binomnr, it is simply the expanded form of a shifted binomial expansion of (1 + a)^n.

Q66 jee_main_2025_24_jan_morning Properties of Binomial Coefficients
For some n neq 10, let the coefficients of the 5^textth, 6^textth and 7^textth terms in the binomial expansion of (1 + x)^n+4 be in A.P. Then the largest coefficient in the expansion of (1 + x)^n+4 is :
  • A. 70
  • B. 35
  • C. 20
  • D. 10

Solution

### Related Formula The coefficient of the r^textth term in the expansion (1+x)^m is written as binommr-1. For three terms in A.P., their values satisfy: 2 cdot T_2 = T_1 + T_3 ### Core Logic Let the total power exponent be m = n + 4. The coefficients of the 5^textth, 6^textth, and 7^textth terms are binomm4, binomm5, and binomm6 respectively. Since they form an arithmetic progression: 2 cdot binomm5 = binomm4 + binomm6 Rearrange using the recurrence addition identity properties: 4 cdot binomm5 = left[ binomm4 + binomm5 right] + left[ binomm5 + binomm6 right] 4 cdot binomm5 = binomm+15 + binomm+16 4 cdot binomm5 = binomm+26 ### Step 1: Solve the Combinatorial Fraction for m Expand the combinations using factorials: 4 cdot fracm!5!(m-4)! = frac(m+2)!6!(m-4)! Cancel out (m-4)! from both denominators: 4 cdot fracm!120 = frac(m+2)(m+1)m!720 4 = frac(m+2)(m+1)6 24 = m^2 + 3m + 2 implies m^2 + 3m - 22 = 0 Wait, let's re-verify the step using the direct ratio computation: 2 = fracbinomm4binomm5 + fracbinomm6binomm5 = frac5m-4 + fracm-56 2 = frac30 + (m-4)(m-5)6(m-4) 12(m-4) = 30 + m^2 - 9m + 20 12m - 48 = m^2 - 9m + 50 implies m^2 - 21m + 98 = 0 Factor the quadratic equation: (m-7)(m-14) = 0 implies m = 7 text or m = 14 ### Step 2: Connect back to the problem constraints Since m = n + 4: - If m = 14 implies n + 4 = 14 implies n = 10 (this is rejected because the problem states n neq 10). - If m = 7 implies n + 4 = 7 implies n = 3 (this value is accepted). Thus, the binomial expansion exponent is exactly m = 7. ### Step 3: Extract Maximum Binomial Coefficient For an odd exponent power m = 7, the maximum binomial coefficient corresponds to the middle terms: textMax Coefficient = binom73 = binom74 = frac7 cdot 6 cdot 53 cdot 2 cdot 1 = 35 ### Pattern Recognition For consecutive binomial coefficients binomnr-1, binomnr, binomnr+1 in A.P., the power parameters satisfy the standard identity (n-2r)^2 = n+2, which allows quick calculation. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Binomial Theorem

Solution

### Related Formula General term of binomial expansion (x + y)^n: T_k+1 = binomnk x^n-k y^k Condition for three terms A, B, C to be in G.P.: B^2 = A cdot C ### Core Logic Part 1: Coefficients of T_r, T_r+1, T_r+2 are binom12r-1, binom12r, binom12r+1. Since they are in G.P.: left[binom12rright]^2 = binom12r-1 cdot binom12r+1 fracbinom12rbinom12r-1 = fracbinom12r+1binom12r implies frac12-r+1r = frac12-rr+1 (13-r)(r+1) = r(12-r) implies 13r + 13 - r^2 - r = 12r - r^2 12r + 13 = 12r implies 13 = 0 quad (textNot possible) Thus, no real integer solution for r exists, so p = 0. ### Step 1: Calculate Rational Terms Sum q Part 2: Rational terms in expansion of (3^1/4 + 4^1/3)^12.

The least value of n for which the number of integral terms in the Binomial expansion of left(sqrt[3]7 + sqrt[12]11right)^n is 183, is:
  • A. 2184
  • B. 2148
  • C. 2172
  • D. 2196

Solution

### Related Formula T_r+1 = binomnr a^n-r b^r ### Core Logic The general term in the expansion is: T_r+1 = binomnr (7)^fracn-r3 (11)^fracr12 For the term to be integral, both powers fracn-r3 and fracr12 must be integers. This dictates that r must be a multiple of 12 (r = 12k, where k is a non-negative integer). ### Step 1: Setup total count equation The values r can take are 0, 12, 24, dots, 12k. The total number of terms is given as 183. Since counting starts from k=0, the maximum value of k is: k_textmax = 183 - 1 = 182 ### Step 2: Calculate minimum n The maximum index value r required to achieve this count is: r_textmax = 12 times 182 = 2184 Hence, the least value of n must be 2184 to encompass all 183 integral terms. ### Pattern Recognition Number of terms formula when tracking steps of size L: textTotal Terms = lfloor fracnL rfloor + 1.

Numerical Answer. Answer: 678 to 678

Solution

### Related Formula General term in a binomial expansion (1+t)^n is given by: T_r+1 = binomnr t^r ### Core Logic Let's simplify the algebraic structure of the product expression first: left(1+frac1xright)^6(1+x^2)^7(1-x^3)^8 = frac(x+1)^6 (1+x^2)^7 (1-x^3)^8x^6 Finding the coefficient of x^30 in this full product is equivalent to finding the coefficient of x^36 in the numerator expansion: textTarget = textCoefficient of x^36 text in (1+x)^6 (1+x^2)^7 (1-x^3)^8 ### Step 1: Setting up General Term Constraints The product of the three general terms is: binom6r_1 x^r_1 cdot binom7r_2 (x^2)^r_2 cdot binom8r_3 (-x^3)^r_3 = binom6r_1binom7r_2binom8r_3 (-1)^r_3 x^r_1 + 2r_2 + 3r_3 We require the total exponent to equal 36: r_1 + 2r_2 + 3r_3 = 36 with boundaries 0 le r_1 le 6, 0 le r_2 le 7, 0 le r_3 le 8. ### Step 2: Case Analysis by r3 Let's evaluate non-vanishing integer combinations case-by-case: - **Case I: r_3 = 8** r_1 + 2r_2 = 36 - 24 = 12 - r_2 = 6, r_1 = 0 implies binom60binom76binom88(-1)^8 = 1 times 7 times 1 = 7 - r_2 = 5, r_1 = 2 implies binom62binom75binom88(-1)^8 = 15 times 21 times 1 = 315 - r_2 = 4, r_1 = 4 implies binom64binom74binom88(-1)^8 = 15 times 35 times 1 = 525 - r_2 = 3, r_1 = 6 implies binom66binom73binom88(-1)^8 = 1 times 35 times 1 = 35 - **Case II: r_3 = 7** r_1 + 2r_2 = 36 - 21 = 15 - r_2 = 7, r_1 = 1 implies binom61binom77binom87(-1)^7 = 6 times 1 times 8 times (-1) = -48 - r_2 = 6, r_1 = 3 implies binom63binom76binom87(-1)^7 = 20 times 7 times 8 times (-1) = -1120 - r_2 = 5, r_1 = 5 implies binom65binom75binom87(-1)^7 = 6 times 21 times 8 times (-1) = -1008 - **Case III: r_3 = 6** r_1 + 2r_2 = 36 - 18 = 18 - r_2 = 7, r_1 = 4 implies binom64binom77binom86(-1)^6 = 15 times 1 times 28 = 420 - r_2 = 6, r_1 = 6 implies binom66binom76binom86(-1)^6 = 1 times 7 times 28 = 196 ### Step 3: Summation for Alpha Summing all calculated values: alpha = (7 + 315 + 525 + 35) + (-48 - 1120 - 1008) + (420 + 196) alpha = 882 - 2176 + 616 = -678 Thus, the absolute value is: |alpha| = 678 ### Pattern Recognition Sees: Multi-product polynomial coefficient extraction problem. Trap: Remember that the negative sign inside (1-x^3)^8 alters the polarity of terms based on whether r_3 is odd or even. Always track the (-1)^r_3 factor carefully. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Binomial Theorem
Q28 jee_main_2024_29_january_evening Remainder and Divisibility Problems
Remainder when 64^32^32 is divided by 9 is equal to
Numerical Answer. Answer: 1 to 1

Solution

### Related Formula (9k + 1)^n equiv 1 pmod 9 ### Core Logic Let the giant power tower expression be variable parameter t = 32^32. Re-expressing baseline number base 64: 64 = 8^2 So, the total term evaluates to: 64^t = (8^2)^t = 8^2t ### Step 1: Evaluating Modulo Properties We can re-express baseline 8 as (9 - 1): 8^2t = (9 - 1)^2t Expanding this expression using the Binomial Theorem: (9 - 1)^2t = binom2t09^2t - dots + binom2t2t(-1)^2t Since the exponent 2t is an even number, (-1)^2t = 1. Therefore: (9 - 1)^2t = 9k + 1 equiv 1 pmod 9 Thus, the remainder obtained when divided by 9 is exactly 1. ### Pattern Recognition When evaluating exponents modulo M, reduce the base first. Since 64 equiv 1 pmod 9, any integer power of 64 trivially leaves a remainder of 1. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 11 Mathematics: Binomial Theorem
