[UPSEAT 2001]

Options:

A) $ a=3b $

B) $ a=b^{3} $

C) $ b=a^{3} $

D) None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • We have a = sum of the coefficient in the expansion of $ {{(1-3x+10x^{2})}^{n}}={{(1-3+10)}^{n}}={{(8)}^{n}} $

therefore $ {{(1-3x+10x^{2})}^{n}}={{(2)}^{3n}} $ , [Putting x = 1] . Now, b = sum of the coefficients in the expansion of $ {{(1+x^{2})}^{n}}={{(1+1)}^{n}}=2^{n} $ . Clearly, $ a=b^{3} $
