    If \[x\] is positive, the first negative term in the expansion of \[{{(1+x)}^{27/5}}\] is     AIEEE  Solved  Paper-2003

    A)                         7th term 

    B)                       5th term                             

    C) 8th term            

    D)       6th term

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Since, (r + 1)th term in the expansion of \[{{(1+x)}^{27/5}}\]                     \[=\frac{\frac{27}{5}\left( \frac{27}{5}-1 \right).....\left( \frac{27}{5}-r+1 \right)}{r!}{{x}^{r}}\] Now, this term will be negative, if the last factor in numerator is the only one negative factor. \[\Rightarrow \,\,\frac{27}{5}-r+1<0\Rightarrow \frac{32}{5}<r\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[6.4<r\Rightarrow \] least value of r is 7. Thus, first negative term will be 8th.
