Q.11 If 1 + 𝑥 4 + 𝑥 5 = ∑5𝑖=0 𝑎𝑖 (1 + 𝑥)𝑖 , for all 𝑥 in 𝑅, then 𝑎2 is :

(A) 6 (B) 10 (C) − 4 (D) − 8

Solution : (C)

Alternate solution
1 + 𝑥 4 + 𝑥 5 = 𝑎0 + 𝑎1 (1 + 𝑥) + 𝑎2 (1 + 𝑥)2 + ⋯ + 𝑎5 (1 + 𝑥)5
Put 1 + 𝑥 = 𝑦 ⇒ 𝑥 = 𝑦 − 1
⇒ 1 + (𝑦 − 1)4 + (𝑦 − 1)5 = 𝑎0 + 𝑎1 𝑦 + 𝑎2 𝑦 2 + ⋯ + 𝑎5 𝑦 5

Now

𝑎2 = coeff. of 𝑦 2 = 4 𝐶2 − 5 𝐶2

Solution : (C)
Required no. of ways = Total − Either 1st or 2nd row is empty
6! 6!
