Given, Binomial expansion
( 2x 51 − x 51 1 )15
∴ General Term
Tr + 1 = 15Cr.( 2x 51 )15 − r.( − x 51 1 )r
= 15Cr.215 − r.x 51 (15 − r − r).( − 1)r
For x − 1 term;
51 (15 − 2r) = − 1
⇒ 15 − 2r = − 5
⇒ 2r = 20
⇒ r = 10
m is the coefficient of x − 1 term,
∴ m = 15C10.215 − 10.( − 1)10
= 15C10.25
For x − 3 term;
51 (15 − 2r) = − 3
⇒ 15 − 2r = − 15
⇒ 2r = 30
⇒ r = 15
n is the coefficient of x − 3 term,
∴ n = 15C15.215 − 15.( − 1)15
= 1.1. − 1
= − 1
Given,
mn2 = 15Cr.2r
⇒ 15C10.25.(1)2 = 15Cr.2r [putting value of m and n]
⇒ 15C15 − 10.25 = 15Cr.2r
⇒ 15C5.25 = 15Cr.2r
Comparing both side, we get
r = 5
