COMEDK · Maths · 7. Binomial Theorem
If the coefficients of \(x^2\) and \(x^3\) in the expansion of \((3 + kx)^9\) are equal, then the value of '\(k\)' is
- A \(\dfrac{9}{7}\)
- B \(\dfrac{7}{3}\)
- C \(\dfrac{3}{7}\)
- D \(\dfrac{7}{9}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(\dfrac{9}{7}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The general term in the expansion of \((3 + kx)^9\) is \(T_{r+1} = ^{9}C_{r} (3)^{9-r} (kx)^r\). For the coefficient of \(x^2\), we put \(r = 2\): Coefficient of \(x^2 = ^{9}C_{2} (3)^{7} k^2\) For the coefficient of \(x^3\), we put \(r = 3\): Coefficient of…
