Solution

Dear student

We know that general term in the expansion of a - bn isTr+1 = -1r . Crn . an-r . brSo, general term in the expansion of 1-x210 isTr+1 = -1r 10Cr 110-r . x2rTr+1=10Cr-1rx2rPutting r=5, we getT6=-15 . 10C5 x25 = -10C5 . x10So, Coefficient of x10=-10C5general term in the expansion of x - 2x10 isTr+1 = -1r 10Cr x10-r × 2xrTr+1 = -1r 10Cr . 2r . x10-2rPutting 10-2r=0, we getr=5So, term independent of x :T6=-15 10C5 .25=-32 10C5Hence their ratio=-10C5:-32 10C5=1 : 32
