Binomial Theorem Question 4

Question 4 - 2024 (27 Jan Shift 1)

If $A$ denotes the sum of all the coefficients in the expansion of $\left(1-3 x+10 x^{2}\right)^{n}$ and $B$ denotes the sum of all the coefficients in the expansion of $\left(1+x^{2}\right)^{n}$, then :

(1) $A=B^{3}$

(2) $3 A=B$

(3) $B=A^{3}$

(4) $A=3 B$

Show Answer

Answer (1)

Solution

Sum of coefficients in the expansion of

$\left(1-3 x+10 x^{2}\right)^{n}=A$

then $A=(1-3+10)^{n}=8^{n}($ put $x=1)$

and sum of coefficients in the expansion of

$\left(1+x^{2}\right)^{n}=B$

then $B=(1+1)^{n}=2^{n}$

$A=B^{3}$
