Q56 / 120 · VITEEE 2011 · Mathematics

The sum of the coefficients of $(6 a-5 b)^{n}$, where $n$ is a positive integer, is

  • Correct answer
    A
    1
  • B
    $-1$
  • C
    $2^{n}$
  • D
    $2^{n-1}$

Solution

For the sum of the coefficients in the expansion of $(6 a-5 b)^{n}$, put $a=b=1$ $\therefore$ Sum of the coefficients $=(6-5)^{\mathrm{n}}$ $$ =1^{\mathrm{n}}=1 $$

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