WBJEE - 2012 (Answers & Hints)

Ans : (A) Hints : 2 = P, 2 = q;

so the given equation is 4 (42x2 8 x) 16 2 + 16 =0

1n 1 1 n C1 + nC2 + ..... + Cn is equal to 2 3 n+1

Ans : (A) Hints : (1+x)n = C0 + C1x + C2x2 + ...............+ Cnxn; Integrating

C C C C 2n+1 1 = C0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + .......... + n n+1 n+1 2 2 3 n +1
