Mathematics - Binomial Theorem

Practise 3 NEST (NISER) previous year questions on Binomial Theorem, compiled from papers spanning 2016 to 2024. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty NEST (NISER) tests.

Binomial Theorem has been asked in 3 of the 16 years of NEST (NISER) papers analysed (2011–2026), with 3 questions in all. 0% of them were easy, 100% moderate and 0% tough. Most of its questions came from 2024, with 1 question that year. In the last three years (2024–2026) it had 1 question across 4 papers, about 0.3 per paper.

The chapter's 2 topics are not weighted equally: Terms of Binomial Expansion (2 questions, 67%) and Properties of Binomial Coefficients (1 question, 33%) have been asked the most. Over the last five years the most frequent topics have been Properties of Binomial Coefficients (1).
