AP EAMCET · Maths · Binomial Theorem

If the coefficients of \(r\) th and \((r+1)\) th terms in the expansion of \((1+x)^{24}\) are in the ratio \(12: 13\), then \(r\) is the root of the quadratic equation

  1. A \(x^2-5 x+6=0\)
  2. B \(x^2-11 x+30=0\)
  3. C \(x^2-14 x+13=0\)
  4. D \(x^2-14 x+24=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(x^2-14 x+24=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to given information, \(\frac{{ }^{24} C_{r-1}}{{ }^{24} C_r}=\frac{12}{13}\) \(\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \frac{\frac{24 !}{(r-1) !(25-r) !}}{\frac{24 !}{r !(24-r) !}}=\frac{12}{13} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{r}{25-r}=\frac{12}{13} \Rightarrow r=12 \end{gathered}\) and…
