JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2023 - 29th January Morning Shift - No. 23)

If the co-efficient of $$x^9$$ in $${\left( {\alpha {x^3} + {1 \over {\beta x}}} \right)^{11}}$$ and the co-efficient of $$x^{-9}$$ in $${\left( {\alpha x - {1 \over {\beta {x^3}}}} \right)^{11}}$$ are equal, then $$(\alpha\beta)^2$$ is equal to ___________.
Answer
1

Explanation

Coefficient of $\mathrm{x}^{9}$ in $\left(\alpha x^{3}+\frac{1}{\beta x}\right)={ }^{11} C_{6} \cdot \frac{\alpha^{5}}{\beta^{6}}$

$\because$ Both are equal

$\therefore \frac{11}{C_{6}} \cdot \frac{\alpha^{5}}{\beta^{6}}=-\frac{11}{C_{5}} \cdot \frac{\alpha^{6}}{\beta^{5}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\beta}=-\alpha$

$\Rightarrow \alpha \beta=-1$

$\Rightarrow(\alpha \beta)^{2}=1$
