Find the values of the positive constants $\D p$ and $\D q$ such that, in binomial expansion of $\D ( p + qx)^{10},$ the coefficient of $\D x^5$ is 252 and the coefficient of $\D x^3$ is 6 times the coefficient of $\D x^2.$
[8]
Solution:
$T_{r+1}=\D {\iixi{10}{r} } p^{10-r}(qx)^r= \left[{\iixi{10}{r} } p^{10-r}q^r\right]x^r$
Since the coefficient of $ x^5$ is 252, $r=5.$ Thus
$252={\iixi{10}{5}}p^{10-5}q^5={\iixi{10}{5} }p^5q^5$ Therefore $\D p^5q^5=\frac{252}{\iixi{10}{5}}$ and hence $pq=1.\qquad \cdots \qquad (1)$
Coefficient of $x^3=\iixi{10}{3}p^{10-3}q^3={\iixi{10}{3}}p^7q^3$
Coefficient of $x^2={\iixi{10}{2} }p^{10-2}q^2={\iixi{10}{2}}p^8q^2$
Thus ${\iixi{10}{3}}p^7q^3=6\times {\iixi{10}{2}}p^8q^2$ $\cdots$ (2)
Multiply (1) and (2),
${\iixi{10}{3}}p^8q^4=6\times {\iixi{10}{2}}p^8q^2$ . Thus $q=\D\frac 32$ and $p=\D\frac 23.$
