Q.15. In the expansion of (x + a)n if the sum of odd terms is denoted by O and the sum of even term by E. Then prove that
(i) O2 – E2 = (x2 – a2)n
(ii) 4OE = (x + a)2n – (x – a)2n
Ans.
Given expression is (x + a)n
(x + a)n = nC0xna0 + nC1xn–1a + nC2xn–2a2 + nC3xn–3a3 + … + nCnan
Sum of odd terms,

and the sum of even terms 
E = nC1 xn-1 × a + nC3 xn- 3a3+ nC5 xn- 5a5+ ...
Now (x + a)n = O + E ...(i)
Similarly (x - a)n = O - E ...(ii)
Multiplying eq. (i) and eq. (ii), we get,
(x + a)n (x – a)n = (O + E) (O – E)

Hence O2 – E2 = (x2 – a2)n
(ii) 4OE = (O + E)2 – (O – E)2
= [(x + a)n]2 – [(x – a)n]2
= [x + a]2n – [x – a]2n
Hence, 4OE = (x + a)2n – (x – a)2n

= (7 x 8 + 9 x 8) + (21 x 82 - 36 x 82) + &
= (56 + 72) + (21 – 36)82 + … = 128  + 64 (21 – 36) + …
= 64[2 + (21 – 36) + …]
Which is divisible by 64
Hence, the given statement is True.

Q.36. The number of terms in the expansion of [(2x + y3)4]7 is 8

Ans.
The given expression is (1 + x)2n – 1
Number of terms = 2n – 1 + 1 = 2n (even)
∴ Middle terms areNCERT Exemplar: Binomial Theorem | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advancedterm andNCERT Exemplar: Binomial Theorem | Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advancedterms
= nth terms and (n + 1)th terms
Coefficient of nth term = 2n – 1Cn–1
and the coefficient of (n + 1)th term = 2n – 1Cn
Sum of the coefficients = 2n – 1Cn – 1 + 2n – 1Cn
= 2n – 1Cn–1 + 2n – 1Cn = 2n – 1 + 1Cn = 2nCn
Hence, the statement [∴ nCr + nCr -1 = n+1Cr ] is False.  

Q.38. The last two digits of the numbers 3400 are 01. 
Ans.
Given    that    3400 = (9)200 = (10 – 1)200
∴ (10 – 1)200 = 200C0(10)200200C1(10)199 + … – 200C199(10)1 + 200C200(1)200
= 10200 – 200 x 10199 + & - 10 x 200 + 1
So, it is clear that last two digits are 01.
Hence, the given statement is True.

FAQs on NCERT Exemplar: Binomial Theorem - Mathematics (Maths) for JEE Main & Advanced

1. What is the binomial theorem?
Ans. The binomial theorem is a formula that allows us to expand the power of a binomial expression. It states that for any positive integer n, the expansion of (a + b)^n can be written as the sum of terms of the form nCr * a^(n-r) * b^r, where nCr represents the binomial coefficient.
2. How do you find the coefficient of a specific term in the expansion of a binomial expression?
Ans. To find the coefficient of a specific term in the expansion of a binomial expression, we can use the formula nCr, where n is the power of the binomial expression and r is the power of the term we are interested in. The coefficient is given by nCr.
3. What is the significance of Pascal's triangle in the binomial theorem?
Ans. Pascal's triangle is a triangular array of numbers where each number is the sum of the two numbers directly above it. The rows of Pascal's triangle represent the coefficients of the terms in the expansion of a binomial expression. It is used to easily determine the coefficients without having to calculate each one individually.
4. How can the binomial theorem be applied in real-life situations?
Ans. The binomial theorem has various applications in real-life situations, such as probability theory, genetics, finance, and statistics. It helps in calculating the probabilities of different outcomes, determining the distribution of traits in genetics, evaluating investment returns, and analyzing data patterns.
5. Can the binomial theorem be used to approximate values?
Ans. Yes, the binomial theorem can be used to approximate values when the power of the binomial expression is large. By using only a few terms from the expansion, we can get a close approximation of the actual value. This is particularly useful in calculations where exact values are not required or when dealing with large numbers.
