Q32 / 90 · JEE Main 2014 (09 Apr Online) · Mathematics

The number of terms in the expansion of 1+x1011-x+x2100 in powers of x is

  • A
    301
  • B
    302
  • C
    101
  • Correct answer
    D
    202

Solution

1 + x 1 0 1 1 + x 2 - x 1 0 0

=1+x1+x1001-x+x2100

=1+x1+x3100  ∵a3+b3=a+ba2-ab+b2

1 + x 3 1 0 0  has 101 terms

1 + x 1 + x 3 1 0 0 = 1 1 + x 3 1 0 0 + x 1 + x 3 1 0 0

⇒  No. of  terms = 101+101=202

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