Let [t] denote the greatest integer ≤t, If the constant term in the expansion of (3x2−2x51)7 is α, then [α] is equal to _____.
- A.
1275
(Correct Answer) - B.
1255
- C.
1235
- D.
1245
Explanation
Let Tr+1 be the constant term.
Tr+1=7Cr(3x)2γ−r(2x5−1)r
For constant term, power of x should be zero.
i.e., 14−2r−5r=0
⇒14=7r⇒r=2
Now, constant term is α.
⇒7C2(3)5(2−1)2=α
⇒21×243×41=α
⇒[α]=1275.75=1275
