JEE PYQ: Binomial Theorem Question 25
Question 25 - 2020 (05 Sep Shift 1)
The natural number $m$, for which the coefficient of $x$ in the binomial expansion of $\left(x^m + \frac{1}{x^2}\right)^{22}$ is 1540, is ____.
Show Answer
Answer: 13
Solution
${}^{22}C_r = 1540 = {}^{22}C_3$. With $r = 3$: $22m - 3m - 6 = 1$, only $m = 13$ works.
