Question:

Let $(x+10)^{50}+(x-10)^{50}=\mathrm{a}_{0}+\mathrm{a}_{1} x+\mathrm{a}_{2} x^{2}+\ldots .+\mathrm{a}_{50} x^{50}$, for all $x \in \mathbf{R} ;$ then $\frac{\mathrm{a}_{2}}{\mathrm{a}_{0}}$ is equal to :

  1. (1) $12.50$

  2. (2) $12.00$

  3. (3) $12.25$

  4. (4) $12.75$


Correct Option: , 3

Solution:

$(x+10)^{50}+(x-10)^{50}$

$=a_{0}+a_{1} x+a_{2} x^{2}+\ldots+a_{50} x^{50}$

$\therefore \quad a_{0}+a_{1} x+a_{2} x^{2}+\ldots+a_{50} x^{50}$

$=2\left({ }^{50} C_{0} x^{50}+{ }^{50} C_{2} x^{48} \cdot 10^{2}+{ }^{50} C_{4} x^{46} \cdot 10^{4}+\ldots\right)$

$\therefore \quad a_{0}=2^{50} C_{50} 10^{50}$

$a_{2}=2 \cdot{ }^{50} C_{2} \cdot 10^{48}$

$\therefore \quad \frac{a_{2}}{a_{0}}=\frac{{ }^{50} C_{2} \times 10^{48}}{{ }^{50} C_{50} 10^{50}}$

$=\frac{50 \times 49}{2 \times 100}=\frac{49}{4}$

$=12.25$
