The position of the term independent of $x$ in the expansion of $\left(\sqrt{\frac{x}{3}}+\frac{3}{2 x^2}\right)^{10}$ is ............. .

Explanation

Given expansion is $\left(\sqrt{\frac{x}{3}}+\frac{3}{2 x^2}\right)^{10}$.

Let the constant term be $T_{r+1}$.

Then,

$$\begin{aligned} T_{r+1} & ={ }^{10} C_r\left(\sqrt{\frac{x}{3}}\right)^{10-r}\left(\frac{3}{2 x^2}\right)^r \\ & ={ }^{10} C_r \cdot x^{\frac{10-r}{2}} \cdot 3^{\frac{-10+r}{2}} \cdot 3^r \cdot 2^{-r} \cdot x^{-2 r} \\ & ={ }^{10} C_r x^{\frac{10-5 r}{2}} 3^{\frac{-10+3 r}{2}} 2^{-r} \end{aligned}$$

For constant term, $10-5 r=0 \Rightarrow r=2$

Hence, third term is independent of $x$./p>

If $25^{15}$ is divided by 13 , then the remainder is .............. .

Explanation

Let

$$\begin{aligned} 25^{15} & =(26-1)^{15} \\ & ={ }^{15} C_0 26^{15}-{ }^{15} C_1 26^{14}+\ldots-{ }^{15} C_{15} \\ & ={ }^{15} C_0 26^{15}-{ }^{15} C_1 26^{14}+\ldots-1-13+13 \\ & ={ }^{15} C_0 26^{15}-{ }^{15} C_1 26^{14}+\ldots-13+12 \end{aligned}$$

It is clear that, when $25^{15}$ is divided by 13 , then remainder will be 12 .
