NIMCET | Mathematics | 2023The coefficient of x50 in the expression (1+x)1000+2x(1+x)999+3x2(1+x)998+⋯+1001x1000 is:
Choose the correct answer:
- A.
1005C50
- B.
1005C48
- C.
1002C50
(Correct Answer) - D.
1002C51
1002C50
Explanation
Sol. (c)
Let S=(1+x)1000+2x(1+x)999+3x2(1+x)998+…+1000x999(1+x)+1001x1000
Above is A.G.P. of common ratio r=1+xx
∴[(1+x)x]S=x(1+x)999+2x2(1+x)998+…+1000⋅x1000+1+x1001x1001
Subtracting, (1−1+xx)S=(1+x)1000+x(1+x)999+x2(1+x)998+…+x1000−1+x1001x1001
Or, S=(1+x)1001+x(1+x)1000+x2(1+x)999+…+x1000(1+x)−1001x1001
=1−x(1+x)1001[1−(x−(1+x))1001]−1001x1001
Sum G.P. (1+x)1002[1−((1+x)x)1001]−1001x1001
<br>=(1+x)1002−x1001(1+x)−1001x1001
=(1+x)1002−x1002−1002x1001…(i)
Now the coefficients of x50 on the R.H.S. of (i)
