Detailed Solution

The general term Tr+1is given by

Tr+1=10Crtx1/510r(1x)1/10tr

Tr+1=10Crt102rxr/5(1x)r/10           (i)

For this term to be independent of t, we must have             

102r=0 i.e. r=5                        

Putting r =5 in (i), we obtain          

T6=10C5x(1x)1/2=10C5f(x),where f(x)=x(1x)1/2 

 f(x)=(1x)1/2x2(1x)1/2=23x(1x)1/2

For maximum or minimum values of  f(x), we must have                 

 f(x)=0x=23                 

Clearly, f' (x) changes its sign from positive to negative as  x increases through 2/3 So, f(x) attains its maximum value at x=23 The maximum value off(x)   is f23=233

 Greatest value of   T6 is  10C5×233=23310!(5!)2
