AP EAMCET · Maths · Binomial Theorem

If the ratio of the terms equidistant from the middle term in the expansion of \((1+x)^{12}\) is \(\frac{1}{256}(x \in N)\) then sum of all the terms of the expansion \((1+x)^{12}\) is

  1. A \(4^{12}\) or \(6^{12}\)
  2. B \(3^{12}\) or \(5^{12}\)
  3. C \(6^{12}\) or \(7^{12}\)
  4. D \(12^{12}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(3^{12}\) or \(5^{12}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Middle term \(\left(\frac{n}{2}+1\right)^{\text {th }}\) term i.e., \(7^{\text {th }}\) term \(T_7={ }^{12} C_6 x^6\) Now, \(\frac{{ }^{12} C_8 x^4}{{ }^{12} C_4 x^8}=\frac{1}{256} \Rightarrow x=4\) and…
