    The larger of \[{{99}^{50}}+{{100}^{50}}\] and \[{{101}^{50}}\] is [IIT 1980]

    A) \[{{99}^{50}}+{{100}^{50}}\]

    B) Both are equal

    C) \[{{101}^{50}}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    We have     \[{{101}^{50}}={{(100+1)}^{50}}={{100}^{50}}+{{50.100}^{49}}+\frac{50.49}{2.1}{{100}^{48}}+....\] ?..(i) and\[{{99}^{50}}={{(100-1)}^{50}}={{100}^{50}}-{{50.100}^{49}}+\frac{50.\,49}{2.1}{{100}^{48}}-..\]?..(ii) Subtracting (ii) from (i), we get \[{{101}^{50}}-{{99}^{50}}={{100}^{50}}+2\frac{50.49.48}{1.2.3}{{100}^{47}}>{{100}^{50}}\] Hence  10150 > 10050+9950.
