a.) 0<x <= 0.5 b.) 0.5 < x <= 1 c.) 1 < x <= 2 d.) x> 2

( 60^99 - 58^99 )/60^98 + 58^98
Dividing Numarator and dinominator by 60

(1-(58/60)^99)/(1+(58/60)9 ~= 1-some small value/1+some small value
=~ approx 1 but less then 1

hence i think B

Correct me if i am wrong

Thank you

Help with this:

What is the coefficient of x^200 in [(1 + x)(1 + 2x^3)(1 + 4x^9)(1 + 8x^27)(1 + 16x^81)(1 + 32x^243)(1 + 64x^729)]^2?

1. 0 2. 228 3. 230 4. 229 5. 231



Hey is this Ans correct?


there is power 2 over the main expression
so I think...max power possible can be 121*2=242
I think power 200 is possible....

can some one through some light on this? Correct me if i am wrong...

Thank you
Thanks for pointing out the same. I have revised the earlier solution (answer is still 0). Please cross-check again

1. 0

terms containing powers of x greater than 200 can be neglected as they wont give 200 (no negative powers)
remaining terms can give powers of x (before squaring) = sum of (0,1,3,9,27,81) taken 2 at a time = (0,1,3,9,27,81;4,10,28,82;12,81,84;36,90;10

After squaring the expression either powers of x will be doubled or taken 2 at a time since (a+b+c+...)^2=a^2+b^2+c^2+...+2ab+2bc+2ca+...

since the original non-squared expression doesn't contain any power of 100, final expression will not contain any power of 200
taking sum of powers of x taking 2 at a time can give a maximum power of 90+108=198<200

=> there will be no x^200 term in the final expression

hope solution is clear now

what is the official solution btw ?

lemme knw the official ans ..
Dude official ans is 6

Already solved by someone few pages back.
But here is one more approach.
(2)^2 + (22)^2 + (222)^2 + .... + (222...49 times) is divided by 9.

2^2 { 1 + 11^2 + 111^2 + .........till (1111...49)^2}
=> 2^2 { 1 + 2^2 + 3^2 ........ 49^2 }
=> 2^2 * sum of aquares till 49
=> 4 * 49*50*99/6
=> 49*25*33 * 4
=> 3300 * 49
=> 161700

Now use division by 9, i.e. sum of digits shd be divisible by 9.

Ans = 6
