Question

 If in the expansion of a13+b196561 ; where a,b are distinct prime numbers, the number of  irrational terms is N, 

then the value of N100 is 

Moderate
Solution

 Given expansion is a13+b196561Tr+1=6561Cra136561r(b)r9=6561Cr(a)(6561r)3(b)r9In(x+a)n expansion ,Tr+1=nCrxranr Since, Tr+1 will be integral if r9 and 6561r3 both are integers 

r=0,9,18,,6561 Number of values of r=65619+1=730 So, number of irrational terms =6562730=5832N100=5832100=58.32

Therefore, the correct answer is 58.32
