Q35 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (13 Apr Shift 2) · Mathematics

The coefficient of x5 in the expansion of 2x3-13x25 is 

  • Correct answer
    A
    809
  • B
    9
  • C
    8
  • D
    263

Solution

General term of the binomial expansion of 2x3-13x25 is

Tr+1=5Cr(2x3)5-r -13x2r

⇒Tr+1=Cr525-r-13rx15-5r

For coefficient of x5, we must have

15-5r=5⇒r=2

So, required coefficient is

=C25(2)319=10×8×19=809

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