Question

If the coefficient of x7 in equals the coefficient of x-7 in , then a and b satisfy the relation

Options

A.a - b = 1
B.a + b = 1
C. = 1
D.ab = 1

Solution

Tr + 1 in the expansion = 11Cr(ax2)11-r
11Cr(a)11-r(b)-r(x)22-2r - r
⇒     22 - 3r = 7 ⇒ r = 5
∴     coefficient of x7 = 11C5(a)6(b)-5 .....(1)
Again Tr + 1 in the expansion = 11Cr(ax)11-r
= 11C5a11-r (-1)r × (b)r (x)-2r (x)11-r
Now 11 - 3r = - 7 ⇒ 3r = 18 ⇒ r = 6
∴     coefficient of x-7 = 11C 6 a5 × 1 × (b)-6
⇒   11C5(a)6(b)-5 = 11C6 a5 × (b)-6
⇒   ab = 1
