Binomial Theorem And Its Simple Applications Question 109

Question: If the sum of the coefficients in the expansion of $ {{(\alpha x^{2}-2x+1)}^{35}} $ is equal to the sum of the coefficients in the expansion of $ {{(x-\alpha y)}^{35}} $ , then $ \alpha $ =

Options:

A) 0

B) 1

C) May be any real number

D) No such value exist

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • Accordingly, $ {{(\alpha -2+1)}^{35}}={{(1-\alpha )}^{35}} $

therefore $ {{(\alpha -1)}^{35}}={{(1-\alpha )}^{35}}\Rightarrow \alpha =1 $
