No. of terms in the expansion of (1 + x)101 (1 + x2 – x)100 is

A

302

B

301

C

202

D

101

Answer

202

Explanation

Solution

(1 + x) {(1 + x) (1 + x2 – x)}100

=(1+x)(1+x3)100101terms\frac{= (1 + x)(1 + x^{3})^{100}}{101terms}

Æ

two type terms = Power of x 3k type & power of x (3k + 1) type = 101 + 101 = 202 terms
