If in the expansion of (1 +x)^(m) (1 - ...

If in the expansion of ` (1 +x)^(m) (1 - x)^(n)` , the coefficients
of x and ` x^(2) ` are 3 and - 6 respectively, the value of m and n are

A

6

B

9

C

12

D

24

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`(1+x)^m(1-x)^n=[1+mx+((m)(m-1).x^2)/(2)+...][1-nx+(n(n-1))/(2)x^2+....]`
Coefficient of x=m-n =3
Coefficient of `x^2=-mn+(n(n+1))/(2)+(m(m-1))/(2)=-6 `
Solving (i) and (ii) ,we get
m=12 and n=9
