If the coefficients of x 7 in a x 2 + 1 2 b x 11 and x - 7 in a x - 1 3 b x 2 11 are equal, then

If the coefficients of x7 in ax2+12bx11 and x-7 in ax-13bx211 are equal, then

  1. 729ab=32
  2. 32ab=729
  3. 64ab=243
  4. 243ab=64

Solution

The coefficient of x7 in ax2+12bx11 and ax-13bx211 are equal, then

Tr+1=11Crax211-r12bxr

=11Cra11-r12brx22-3r

Now solving 22-3r=7r=5

Coefficient of x-7 in ax-13bx211

Tr+1=11Crax11-r-13bx2r

=11Cra11-r-13brx11-3r

Now solving 11-3r=-7r=6

Now equating coefficient of x7 and x-7 we get,

 11C5a612b5=11C6 a5-13b6

36ab=32

729ab=32

Hence this is the correct option.
