Let K be the sum of the coefficients of the odd powers of x in the expansion of 1+x99. Let a be the middle term in the expansion of 2+12200. If C99200Ka=2lmn, where m and n are odd numbers, then the ordered pair l,n is equal to:
  1. 50,51
  2. 51,99
  3. 50,101
  4. 51,101

Solution

In the binomial expansion of
1+x99, the sum of odd coefficients of x is given by

K=C1+C3+.+C99=299-02=298

Also, a=Middle term in the binomial expansion of 2+12200 is

T2002+1=T100+1=C100200210012100

T100+1=C100200·250

So,

C99200Ka

=C99200×298C100200×250=100101×248

=25101×250=mn2l

On comparing, we get

l=50, m=25 and n=101

Therefore, l, n50,101
