If the coefficient of x15 in the expansion of (ax3+bx1/31)15 is equal to the coefficient of x−15 in the expansion of (ax1/3−bx31)15, where a and b are positive real numbers, then for each such ordered pair (a,b) :
Aa = 3b
Bab = 1
Cab = 3
Da = b
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution
For
(ax3+bx311)
Tr+1=15Cr(ax3)15−r(bx311)1
∴
x15→3(15−r)−3r=15
⇒30=310r⇒r=9
Similarly, for
(ax31−bx31)15
Tr+1=15Cr(ax31)15−r(−bx31)2
∴ For
x−15→315−r−3r=−15⇒r=6
∴
15C9b9a6=15C6b6a9⇒ab=1
