Q60 / 90 · JEE Main 2016 (10 Apr Online) · Mathematics

If the coefficients of x-2 and x-4, in the expansion of x13+12x1318,x>0, are m and n respectively, then mn is equal to

  • A
    27
  • Correct answer
    B
    182
  • C
    54
  • D
    45

Solution

We have, x13+12x1318,x>0

General term, Tr+1=18Crx1318-r12x13r=18Cr x6-2r312r
Now,6-2r3=-2⇒r=12 and, 6-2r3=-4⇒r=15
Hence, mn=Coefficient of x-2Coefficient of x-4=C1218212C1518215

=18!6!.12!18!3!.15!×23

=15×14×136×5×4×23

=182

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
