Questions  

If A is the sum of the odd terms and B the sum of even terms in the expansion of (x + a)n, then A2B2=

a
(x2+a2)n
b
(x2−a2)n
c
2(x2−a2)n
d
none of these

detailed solution

Correct option is B

We have, (x+a)n=nC6xn+nC1xn−1a1+nC2xn−2a2+nC3xn−3a3+…+nCnxn =(nC0xn+nC2xn−2a2+…)+(nC1xn−1a1+nC3xn−3a3+…) =A+B (x−a)n=nC0xn−nC1xn−1a1+nC2xn−2a2−nC3xn−3a3+…+nCn(−1)nan  =(nC0xn+nC2xn−2a2+…)−(nC1xn−1a1+nC3xn−3a3+…)  =A−B ∴ A2−B2=(A+B)(A−B)=(x+a)n(x−a)n  =(x2−a2)n
