    If the expansion in powers of x of the function \[\frac{1}{(1-ax)\,(1-bx)}\]is \[{{a}_{0}}-{{a}_{1}}x+{{a}_{2}}{{x}^{2}}+{{a}_{3}}{{x}^{3}}+.....,\] then \[{{a}_{n}}\] is

    A)  \[\frac{{{b}^{n+1}}-{{a}^{n+1}}}{b-a}\]

    B)  \[\frac{{{a}^{n}}-{{b}^{n}}}{b-a}\]

    C)  \[\frac{{{a}^{n+1}}-{{b}^{n+1}}}{b-a}\]

    D)  \[\frac{{{b}^{n}}-{{a}^{n}}}{b-a}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    We know that, \[{{(1-ax)}^{-1}}\,{{(1-bx)}^{-1}}\] \[=(1+ax+{{a}^{2}}{{x}^{2}}+....)(1+bx+{{b}^{2}}{{x}^{2}}+...)\] Hence, \[{{a}_{n}}=\] coefficient of \[{{x}^{n}}\] in \[{{(1-ax)}^{-1}}{{(1-bx)}^{-1}}\] \[={{a}^{0}}{{b}^{n}}+a{{b}^{n-1}}+....+{{a}^{m}}{{b}^{0}}\] \[={{a}^{0}}{{b}^{n}}\left( \frac{{{\left( \frac{a}{b} \right)}^{n+1}}-1}{\frac{a}{b}-1} \right)\] \[=\frac{{{b}^{n}}({{a}^{n+1}}-{{b}^{n+1}})}{a-b}.\frac{b}{{{b}^{n+1}}}\] \[=\frac{{{a}^{n+1}}-{{b}^{n+1}}}{a-b}\]
