NCERT Solutions for Class-11 Maths Miscellaneous Exercise


Question 1. Find a, b and n in the expansion of (a + b) n if the first three terms of the expansion are 729, 7290 and 30375, respectively.

Solution :
Given: (a + b) n

T r+1 = n C r a n-t b r

The first three terms of the expansion are given as 729, 7290 and 30375 respectively. Then we have,

T1 = n C 0 a n-0 b 0 = an = 729….. 1

T2 = n C 1 a n-1 b 1 = n a n-1 b = 7290…. 2

T3 = n C 2 a n-2 b 2 = {n (n -1)/2 }a n-2 b 2 = 30375……3

Dividing 2 by 1 we get

Question 2. Find a if the coefficients of x 2 and x 3 in the expansion of (3 + ax) 9 are equal.

Question 4. If a and b are distinct integers, prove that a – b is a factor of a n – b n , whenever n is a positive integer.

[Hint: write an = (a – b + b) n and expand]

Solution :

n order to prove that (a – b) is a factor of (a n – b n ), it has to be proved that

a n – b n = k (a – b) where k is some natural number.

a can be written as a = a – b + b

an = (a – b + b) n = [(a – b) + b] n

= n C 0 (a – b) n + n C 1 (a – b) n-1 b + …… + n C n b n

a n – b n = (a – b) [(a –b) n-1 + n C 1 (a – b) n-1 b + …… + n C n b n ]

a n – b n = (a – b) k

Where k = [(a –b) n-1 + n C 1 (a – b) n-1 b + …… + n C n b n] is a natural number

Question 7. Find an approximation of (0.99) 5 using the first three terms of its expansion.

Solution :
Here .99 can be written as

0.99 = 1 – 0.01

Now by applying binomial theorem we get

(o. 99)5 = (1 – 0.01) 5

= 5C0 (1) 5 5 C 1 (1) 4 (0.01) + 5 C 2 (1) 3 (0.01) 2

= 1 – 5 (0.01) + 10 (0.01) 2

= 1 – 0.05 + 0.001

= 0.951

Question 10. Find the expansion of (3x 2 – 2ax + 3a 2 ) 3 using binomial theorem.

Solution :
Here

=  We know that (a + b) 3 = a 3 + 3a 2 b + 3ab 2 + b 3

Putting a = 3x 2 & b = -a (2x-3a), we get
[3x 2 + (-a (2x-3a))] 3

= (3x2) 3 +3(3x 2 ) 2 (-a (2x-3a)) + 3(3x 2 ) (-a (2x-3a)) 2 + (-a (2x-3a)) 3

= 27x 6 – 27ax 4 (2x-3a) + 9a2x 2 (2x-3a) 2 – a 3 (2x-3a) 3

= 27x 6 – 54ax 5 + 81a2x 4 + 9a2x 2 (4x 2 -12ax+9a 2 ) – a3 [(2x)3 – (3a)3 – 3(2x) 2 (3a) + 3(2x)(3a) 2 ]

= 27x 6 – 54ax 5 + 81a 2 x 4 + 36a 2 x 4 – 108a 3 x 3 + 81a 4 x 2 – 8a3x3 + 27a 6 + 36a 4 x2 – 54a 5 x

= 2 7x6 – 54ax 5 + 117a 2 x 4 – 116a 3 x 3 + 117a 4 x 2 – 54a 5 x + 27a 6

Thus, (3x 2 – 2ax + 3a 2 ) 3

= 27x 6 – 54ax 5 + 117a2x 4 – 116a 3 x 3 + 117a 4 x 2 – 54a 5 x + 27a 6
