    If the sum of odd numbered terms and the sum of even numbered terms in the expansion of \[{{(x+a)}^{n}}\]are A and B respectively, then the value of \[{{({{x}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}})}^{n}}\] is

    A) \[{{A}^{2}}-{{B}^{2}}\]

    B) \[{{A}^{2}}+{{B}^{2}}\]

    C) 4AB

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[{{(x+a)}^{n}}={{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{0}}{{x}^{n}}+{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{1}}{{x}^{n-1}}a+{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}{{x}^{n-2}}{{a}^{2}}\] \[+{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{3}}{{x}^{n-3}}{{a}^{3}}+{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{4}}{{x}^{n-4}}{{a}^{4}}+....\] \[={{(}^{n}}{{C}_{0}}{{x}^{n}}+{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}{{x}^{n-2}}{{a}^{2}}+{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{4}}{{x}^{n-4}}{{a}^{4}}+....)+\] \[{{(}^{n}}{{C}_{1}}{{x}^{n-1}}a+{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{3}}{{x}^{n-3}}{{a}^{3}}+{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{5}}{{x}^{n-5}}{{a}^{5}})+....\] \[=A+B....(1)\] Similarly, \[{{(x-a)}^{n}}=A-B....(2)\] Multiplying eqns. (1) and (2), we get \[{{({{x}^{2}}-{{a}^{2}})}^{n}}={{A}^{2}}-{{B}^{2}}\]
