What is the expansion of (x + y)^1000?(a) \(\Sigma_{r = 0}^{r = 1000}\)(1000Cr x^r – 1000 y^r)(b) \(\Sigma_{r = 0}^{r = 1000}\)(100Cr x^1000 – r y^r)(c) \(\Sigma_{r = 0}^{r = 999}\)(1000Cr x^r – 1000 y^r)(d) \(\Sigma_{r = 0}^{r = 999}\)(1000Cr x^1000 – r y^r)The question was posed to me in examination.Origin of the question is Binomial Theorem for Positive Integral Index topic in chapter Binomial Theorem of Mathematics – Class 11

Answer»

The correct ANSWER is (b) \(\Sigma_{r = 0}^{r = 1000}\)(100Cr X^1000 – r y^r)

To ELABORATE: The expansion can be done using binomial theorem.

(x + y)^1000 = 1000C0 x^1000 y^0 + 1000C1 x^999 y^1 +….+ 1000C999 x^1 y^999 + 1000C1000 x^0 y^1000

This can also be WRITTEN as,

(x + y)^1000 = \(\Sigma_{r = 0}^{r = 1000}\)(100Cr x^1000 – r y^r).
