Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 10. (c)

Solution:

  1. Since, r th term from the end in the expansion of a binomial (x+a)n is same as the (nr+2) th term from the beginning in the expansion of same binomial.

Required ratio =T5T105+2=T5T7=T4+1T6+1

T5T105+2=10C4(21/3)104(12(3)1/3)410C6(21/3)106(12(3)1/3)6[Tr+1=nCrxnrar]

=26/3(2(3)1/3)624/3(2(3)1/3)4[10C4=10C6]

=26/34/3(2(3)1/3)64

=22/322323=4(6)2/3=4(36)1/3

So, the required ratio is 4(36)1/3:1.
