In the Expansion of\( \left(2 x^{2}+r x+1\right)^{6} \), where \( r \) is a number and\( x \) is a variable, the coefficient of \( x^{2} \) and\( x^{4} \) are 27 and \( -192 \) respectively findThe possible value of \( r \)

Answer»

Given expression:- (2x2 + rx + 1)6 

The general term of this expression = 6!(p! q! r!) × 1p × rxq  × (2x2)

= 6!/ (p! q! r!) × rq × 2r × (xq + 2r)

               

Case1:-  

 xq +2r = x2 

q + 2r = 2 

Also, p + q + r = 6, 

The possible values of p, q, r are (4,2,0) and (5,0,1) 

The coefficient of x2 = 27(given)

[{6! / (4! 2! 1!)} × r2 × 20]  + [{6! / (5! 0! 1!)} × r0 × 21] = 27

[{6! / (4! 2!)} × r2] + [{6! / (5! 1!)} × 2] = 27

15r2 + 12 = 27

15r2 = 15 ∴r = ±1 .... (1)  

Case2:- 

xq + 2r = x11

q + 2r = 11 

Also, p + q + r = 6

The only possible value of p, q, r is (0,1,5) 

The coefficient of x11 = -192

{6! / (0! 1! 5!)} × r1 × 25 = -192

{6! / 5!} × r × 32 = -192

6r = -6

r = -1 .... (2) 

From (1) and (2), r = -1
