If the constant term in the expansion of 3 x 3 - 2 x 2 + 5 x 5 10 is 2 k . l , where l is an odd integer,…

If the constant term in the expansion of 3x3-2x2+5x510 is 2k.l, where l is an odd integer, then the value of k is equal to
  1. 6
  2. 7
  3. 8
  4. 9

Solution

For 3x3-2x2+5x510the general term is given by

Tr+1=10!r1!r2!r3!3r1-2r25r3x3r1+2r2-5r3

For term independent of x the exponent 3r1+2r2-5r3=0     1

Also we know r1+r2+r3=10    2

From 1 and 2, we get 

r1+210-r3-5r3=0

i.e. r1+20=7r3

So r1,r2,r3=1,6,3

Hence the constant term =10!1!6!3!31-2653

=29·32·54·71

k=9
