Q1 Mathematics 2025 Binomial Theorem mcq QP JEE Main

The least value of n for which the number of integral terms in the Binomial expansion of $(\sqrt[3]{7}+\sqrt[12]{11})^n$ is 183, is :

A

2184

B

2172

C

2196

D

2148

Answer: A
Explanation:

$\begin{aligned} & \text { General term }={ }^n C_r\left(7^{1 / 3}\right)^{n-r}\left(11^{1 / 12}\right)^r \\ & ={ }^n C_r(7)^{\frac{n-r}{3}}(11)^{r / 12} \end{aligned}$

For integral terms, $r$ must be multiple of 12

$\therefore \mathrm{r}=12 \mathrm{k}, \mathrm{k} \in \mathrm{~W}$

Total values of $\mathrm{r}=183$

Hence $\max r=12(182)$

$=2184$

Min value of $n=2184$
