Note : Multinomial Theorem :

The general term of (x1+x2+...+xn)n{\left( {{x_1} + {x_2} + ... + {x_n}} \right)^n} the expansion is

n!n1!n2!...nn!x1n1x2n2...xnnn{{n!} \over {{n_1}!{n_2}!...{n_n}!}}x_1^{{n_1}}x_2^{{n_2}}...x_n^{{n_n}}

where n1 + n2 + ..... + nn = n

Given,

(3x2−2x2+5x5)10{\left( {3{x^2} - 2{x^2} + {5 \over {{x^5}}}} \right)^{10}}

=(3x8−2x7+5)10x50= {{{{(3{x^8} - 2{x^7} + 5)}^{10}}} \over {{x^{50}}}}

Now constant term in (3x3−2x2+5x5)10=x50{\left( {3{x^3} - 2{x^2} + {5 \over {{x^5}}}} \right)^{10}} = {x^{50}} term in (3x8−2x7+5)10{(3{x^8} - 2{x^7} + 5)^{10}}

General term in (3x8−2x7+5)10{(3{x^8} - 2{x^7} + 5)^{10}} is

=10!n1! n2! n3!(3x8)n1(−2x7)n2(5)n3= {{10!} \over {{n_1}!\,{n_2}!\,{n_3}!}}{(3{x^8})^{{n_1}}}{( - 2{x^7})^{{n_2}}}{(5)^{{n_3}}}

=10!n1! n2! n3!(3)n1(−2)n2(5)n3 . x8n1+7n2= {{10!} \over {{n_1}!\,{n_2}!\,{n_3}!}}{(3)^{{n^1}}}{( - 2)^{{n_2}}}{(5)^{{n^3}}}\,.\,{x^{8{n_1} + 7{n_2}}}

∴\therefore Coefficient of x8n1+7n2{x^{8{n_1} + 7{n_2}}} is

=10!n1! n2! n3!(3)n1(−2)n2(5)n3= {{10!} \over {{n_1}!\,{n_2}!\,{n_3}!}}{(3)^{{n_1}}}{( - 2)^{{n_2}}}{(5)^{{n_3}}}

where n1+n2+n3=0{n_1} + {n_2} + {n_3} = 0

For coefficient of x50 :

8n1+7n2=508{n_1} + 7{n_2} = 50

∴\therefore Possible values of n1, n2 and n3 are

n 1_1 n 2_2 n 3_3
1 6 3

∴\therefore Coefficient of x50

=10!1! 6! 3!(3)1(−2)6(5)3= {{10!} \over {1!\,6!\,3!}}{(3)^1}{( - 2)^6}{(5)^3}

=10×9×8×76×3×53×26= {{10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7} \over 6} \times 3 \times {5^3} \times {2^6}

=5×3×8×7×3×53×26= 5 \times 3 \times 8 \times 7 \times 3 \times {5^3} \times {2^6}

=7×54×32×29= 7 \times {5^4} \times {3^2} \times {2^9}

=2k . l= {2^k}\,.\,l

∴\therefore l=7×54×32l = 7 \times {5^4} \times {3^2} = An odd integer

and 2k=29{2^k} = {2^9}

⇒k=9\Rightarrow k = 9
