Let C r denote the binomial coefficient of x r in the expansion of 1 + x 10 . If for α , β ∈…

Let Cr denote the binomial coefficient of xr in the expansion of 1+x10. If for α,βR, C1+3·2C2+5·3C3+ upto 10 terms =α×2112β-1 (C0+C12+C23+ upto 10 terms) then the value of α+β is equal to _____.

Solution

1+x10=C0+C1x+C2x2++C10x10

Differentiating, we get

101+x9=C1+2C2x+3C3x2++10C10x9

Now replacing xx2

101+x29=C1+2C2x2+3C3x4+.+10C10x18

Multiplying by x on both the sides

10·x1+x29=C1x+2C2x3+3C3x5++10C10x19

Differentiating again, we get 

101+x29·1+91+x282x

=C1+2C2·3x2+3·5·C3x4++10·19C10x18

putting x=1

1029+18·28=C1+3·2·C2+5·3·C3+.+19·10·C10

C1+3·2·C2++19·10·C10

=10·29·10=100·29

Now 1+x10=C0+C1x+C2x2++C10x10

Integrating, we get

1+x111101=C0x+C1x22+C2x33++C10x111101

C0+C12+C23+.+C910+C1011=211-111

C0+C12+C23+.+C910=211-211

Now, 100·29=α·2112β-1211-211

α=275, β=11α+β=286
