Correct Answer

(A) 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \text { } \because \text { General term of }(x+y)^n={ }^n C_r(x)^{n-r}(y)^r \\ & \Rightarrow \quad T_{r+1}={ }^{10} C_r(1)^{10-r}\left(-x^5\right)^r={ }_{}^{10} C_r(-1)^r(x)^{5 r} \\ & \therefore \quad 5 r=24 \Rightarrow r=4.8 \end{aligned}\) \(\therefore r\)…
