= (10−1)1011
= 1011C0(10)1011 +.....+ 1011C1010.(10)1 − 1011C1011
= 10[1011C0(10)1010 +......+ 1011C1010]−1
= 10K−1
[As 10[1011C0.(10)1010 +......+ 1011C1010] is multiple of 10]
= 10K + 5 − 5 − 1
= 10K − 5 + 5 − 1

(2021)2023
= (2016 + 5)2023 [here 2016 is divisible by 7]
= 2023C0 (2016)2023 + .......... + 2023C2022 (2016) (5)2022 + 2023C2023 (5)2023
= 2016 [2023C0 . (2016)2022 + ....... + 2023C2022 . (5)2022] + (5)2023
= 2016λ + (5)2023
= 7 × 288λ + (5)2023
= 7K + (5)2023 ...... (1)
Now, (5)2023
= (5)2022 . 5
= (53)674 . 5
= (125)674 . 5
= (126 − 1)674 . 5
= 5[674C0 (126)674 + ......... − 674C673 (126) + 674C674]
= 5 × 126 [674C0(126)673 + ....... − 674C673] + 5
= 5 . 7 . 18 [674C0(126)673 + ....... − 674C673] + 5
= 7λ + 5
Replacing (5)2023 in equation (1) with 7λ + 5, we get,
(2021)2023 = 7K + 7λ + 5
= 7(K + λ) + 5
∴ Remainder = 5

∴ Coefficient of
It is given that,
Also given that, l is coprime to 5 means l can't be multiple of 5. So we have to find all the factors of 5 in 60!, 24! and 36!
[Note : Formula for exponent or degree of prime number in n!.
Exponent of p in n! =..... until 0 comes here p is a prime number.]
∴ Exponent of 5 in 60!
= 12+2+0+ .....=14
Exponent of 5 in 24!
= 4 + 0 + 0 ...... = 4
Exponent of 5 in 36!

∴ General term![]()
For positive power of x,
7n − nr −5r > 0
⇒ 7n > r(n + 5)
⇒ r < (7n/(n+5))As r represent term of binomial expression so r is always integer.
Given that sum of coefficient is 939.
When r = 0,
sum of coefficient = 7C0.20 = 1
when r = 1,
sum of coefficient = 7C0.20+7C1.21 = 1+14 = 15
when r = 2,
sum of coefficient
= 7C0.20+7C1.21+7C2.22

when r = 3,
sum of coefficient
= 7C0.20 + 7C1.21 + 7C2.22 + 7C3.23
= 1+14+84+280
= 379
when r=4,

⇒ n > 20/3
⇒ n > 6.66
and
7n < 5n +25
⇒ 2n < 25
⇒ n < 12.5
∴ 6.66 < n < 12.5
∴ Possible integer values of n = 7,8,9,10,11,12
∴ Sum of values of n=7+8+9+10+11+12 = 57
Q.30. The number of positive integers k such that the constant term in the binomial expansion of l, where l is an odd integer, is _______. (JEE Main 2022)
Ans. 2
Given Binomial expression is
General term,
= (12Cr.2r.312−r).x3r−12k+kr
For constant term, 3r−12k+kr = 0
⇒ k(12−r) = 3r
⇒ k = 3r/(12−r)
For r = 1, k = (3/11) (not integer)
For r = 2, k = (6/10) (not integer)
For r = 3, k = (9/9) = 1 (integer)
For r = 6, k = (18/6) = 3 (integer)
For r = 8, k = (24/4) = 6 (integer)
For r = 9, k = (27/3) = 9 (integer)
For r = 10, k = (30/2) = 15 (integer)
For r = 11, k = (33/1) = 33 (integer)
So, for r = 3, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11 k is positive integer.
When k = 1 then r = 3 and constant term is = 12C3 . 23 . 39
= 2.11.2.5.23.39
= 11.5.25.39
= 25.(55.39)
= 25(l)
≠ 28.l
When x = 3 then r = 6 and constant term = 12C6 . 26 . 36
= 28.231.36
= 28(l)
When k = 6 then r = 8 and constant term = 12C8 . 28 . 34
= 28.55.36
= 28(l)
When x = 9 then r = 9 and constant term = 12C9.29.33
= 211 . 55 . 33
Here power of 2 is 11 which is greater than 8. So, k = 9 is not possible.
Similarly for k = 15 and k = 33, 28.l form is not possible.
∴ k = 3 and k = 6 is accepted.
∴ For 2 positive integer value of k, 28 . l form of constant term possible.
Q.31. Let the coefficients of x−1 and x−3 in the expansion of be m and n respectively. If r is a positive integer such that mn2 = 15Cr.2r, then the value of r is equal to __________. (JEE Main 2022)
Ans. 5
Given, Binomial expansion
∴ General Term
For x−1 term;
1/5(15-2r) = -1
⇒ 15 − 2r = −5
⇒ 2r = 20
⇒ r = 10
m is the coefficient of x−1 term,
∴ m = 15C10.215−10.(−1)10
= 15C10.25
For x−3 term;
1/5(15-2r) = -3
⇒ 15−2r = −15
⇒ 2r = 30
⇒ r = 15
n is the coefficient of x−3 term,
∴ n = 15C15.215−15.(−1)15
= 1.1.−1
= −1
Given,
mn2 = 15Cr.2r
⇒ 15C10.25.(1)2 = 15Cr.2r [putting value of m and n]
⇒ 15C15−10.25 = 15Cr.2r
⇒ 15C5.25 = 15Cr.2r
Comparing both side, we get
r = 5.

Ans. 45
∵ 7n = (10−3)n = 10k + (−3)n
7n + 3n = 10k + (−3)n + 3n
∴ 3n = 32t = (10 − 1)t
= 10p + (−1)t
= 10p ± 1
∴ if n = even then 7n + 3n will not be multiply of 10
