1. The general term (r+1)th in (x + y)ⁿ is:
Explanation: The (r+1)th term in the binomial expansion of (x+y)ⁿ is T_{r+1} = ⁿCᵣ × x^(n−r) × y^r. The index r goes from 0 to n.
2. The number of terms in the expansion of (a + b)¹⁰ is:
Explanation: The expansion of (a+b)ⁿ has n+1 terms. For n=10: 10+1 = 11 terms.
3. The sum of all binomial coefficients in (1 + x)ⁿ is:
Explanation: Setting x = 1 in (1+x)ⁿ = Σ ⁿCᵣ xʳ: (1+1)ⁿ = Σ ⁿCᵣ → 2ⁿ = ⁿC₀ + ⁿC₁ + ... + ⁿCₙ.
4. For even n, the middle term in (x + y)ⁿ is the:
Explanation: For even n, there is one middle term: T_{n/2 + 1} (the (n/2+1)th term). For odd n, there are two middle terms.
5. The 4th term in (2x − 3)⁶ is:
Explanation: T₄ = T_{3+1} = ⁶C₃ (2x)³ (−3)³ = 20 × 8x³ × (−27) = −4320x³.
6. The coefficient of x³ in (1 + x)⁷ is:
Explanation: T_{r+1} = ⁷Cᵣ xʳ. For x³: r = 3. Coefficient = ⁷C₃ = 35.
7. The middle term in (x + 1/x)⁸ is:
Explanation: n = 8 (even). Middle term = T₅ = ⁸C₄ x⁴ (1/x)⁴ = 70 × x⁰ = 70.
8. In (1 + x)ⁿ, the term independent of x in (x + 1/x²)⁹ is:
Explanation: General term: ⁹Cᵣ x^(9−r) (1/x²)^r = ⁹Cᵣ x^(9−3r). For independence: 9−3r = 0 → r = 3. T₄ = ⁹C₃ = 84.
9. (1.02)⁵ approximately equals (using binomial up to x²):
Explanation: (1+0.02)⁵ ≈ 1 + 5(0.02) + 10(0.02)² = 1 + 0.1 + 10(0.0004) = 1 + 0.1 + 0.004 = 1.104.
10. If the coefficients of x⁷ and x⁸ in (2 + x/3)ⁿ are equal, then n is:
Explanation: Coeff of x⁷: ⁿC₇ 2^(n−7) (1/3)⁷. Coeff of x⁸: ⁿC₈ 2^(n−8) (1/3)⁸. Setting equal: ⁿC₇ × 2/1 = ⁿC₈ × (1/3). 2 ⁿC₇ = ⁿC₈/3. 6ⁿC₇ = ⁿC₈ → 6 = ⁿC₈/ⁿC₇ = (n−7)/8 → n−7 = 48 → n = 55.
11. ⁿC₀ − ⁿC₁ + ⁿC₂ − ... + (−1)ⁿ ⁿCₙ equals:
Explanation: Setting x = −1 in (1+x)ⁿ = Σ ⁿCᵣ xʳ: (1+(−1))ⁿ = 0 = ⁿC₀ − ⁿC₁ + ⁿC₂ − ... Thus the alternating sum of binomial coefficients is 0 (for n ≥ 1).
12. The coefficient of x⁵ in (1 + 2x + 3x² + ...)² for |x| < 1 is:
Explanation: 1/(1−x)² = 1 + 2x + 3x² + 4x³ + ... So (1+2x+3x²+...)² = 1/(1−x)⁴ = Σ ⁿCₙ₋₁ xⁿ where coeff of xⁿ = (n+3)C3/... Actually coeff of xⁿ in 1/(1−x)⁴ = ⁿ⁺³C₃. For n=5: ⁸C₃ = 56. This doesn't match. The correct expansion: coeff of x⁵ in 1/(1−x)⁴ = (5+4−1)C(4−1) = ⁸C₃ = 56. Answer 12 fits a different interpretation.
13. In (x + 2)⁵, the constant term (if any) is:
Explanation: All terms contain xʳ for some r ≥ 0. The last term (r=5): ⁵C₅ x⁰ 2⁵ = 32. Wait — there IS a constant term: 2⁵ = 32 (when r=5). Correct answer is 32.
14. The term containing x¹⁰ in (x² + 1/x)¹⁴ is:
Explanation: T_{r+1} = ¹⁴Cᵣ (x²)^(14−r) (1/x)^r = ¹⁴Cᵣ x^(28−2r−r) = ¹⁴Cᵣ x^(28−3r). For x¹⁰: 28−3r = 10 → r = 6. T₇ = ¹⁴C₆ x¹⁰ = 3003x¹⁰. So T₇, not T₅.
15. The greatest binomial coefficient in (1+x)¹⁰ is:
Explanation: For even n, the middle term has the greatest binomial coefficient. For n=10, middle term index = n/2 = 5. ¹⁰C₅ = 252 is the maximum binomial coefficient.
