JEE Main & Advanced Sample Paper JEE Main - Mock Test - 15

  • question_answer
    The coefficient of \[{{x}^{32}}\]in the expansion of \[{{\left( {{x}^{4}}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}} \right)}^{15}}\]is

    A) \[^{15}{{C}_{5}}\]                 

    B) \[^{15}{{C}_{6}}\]

    C) \[^{15}{{C}_{4}}\]                 

    D) \[^{15}{{C}_{7}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] : Let \[{{T}_{r+1}}\]term containing \[{{x}^{32}}\]. Clearly,\[{{T}_{r+1}}{{=}^{15}}{{C}_{r}}{{({{x}^{4}})}^{(15-r)}}{{\left( \frac{-1}{{{x}^{3}}} \right)}^{r}}\] \[{{=}^{15}}{{C}_{r}}{{x}^{60-4r}}{{(-1)}^{r}}{{x}^{-3r}}{{=}^{15}}{{C}_{r}}{{(-1)}^{r}}{{x}^{60-7r}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[60-7r=32\Rightarrow 7r=28\Rightarrow r=4\] Thus, coefficient of \[{{x}^{32}}\] is \[^{15}{{C}_{4}}\].
