If the coefficient of a 7 b 8 in the expansion of ( a + 2 b + 4 a b ) 10 is K · 2 16 , then K is equal to

If the coefficient of a7b8 in the expansion of (a+2b+4ab)10 is K·216, then K is equal to

Solution

Given the expansion  (a+2b+4ab)10

Tr+1 =a10·b101b+2a+410

Tr+1=a10·b10  C10r1+r2 1br12ar2410-r1-r2

Tr+1=a10·b1010!1br12ar2410-r1-r2r1!r2!10-r1-r2!

Putting, r1=2, r2=3

Coefficient of a7b8 is 10!·23·410-2-32!.3!5!

=213·10!2!.3!5!

=216·315

K.216=315..216

Hence, K=315
