Let C r n denote the binomial coefficient of x r in the expansion of ( 1 + x ) n . If ∑ k = 0 10 2 2 +…

Let Crn denote the binomial coefficient of xr in the expansion of (1+x)n. If k=01022+3kCkn=α.310+β·210, α, βR, then α+β is equal to ___ .

Solution

Instead of Ckn it must be Ck10 i.e.

k=01022+3kCk10=α·310+β·210

LHS=4k=010Ck10+3k=010k·10k·Ck-19

=4.210+3.10.29

=19.210=α.310+β.210

α=0,β=19α+β=19
