Ques. 1JEE Main 2024, 30 January (Evening Shift)

Suppose 2-p, p, 2- , are the coefficients of four consecutive terms in the expansion of (1+x)n. Then the value of p2- 2+6 +2p equals

Answer

BONUS

Solution

Let nCr=2-p, nCr+1=p, nCr+2=2- , nCr+3=

nCr+nCr+1=n+1Cr+1=2

and nCr+2+nCr+3=n+1Cr+3=2

n+1Cr+1=n+1Cr+3 (r+1)+(r+3)=n+1 n=2r+3

2r+4Cr+1=2; but NCk=2 only for N=2, k=1, i.e. r=-1: impossible

∵ no such n, r exist, the data are inconsistent ⇒ question dropped

Answer: Bonus (full marks to all who attempted)
