If 210 + 29.31 + 28 .32 +.....+ 2.39 + 310 = S - 211, then S is equal to :

  1. A ${{{3^{11}}} \over 2} + {2^{10}}$
  2. B 3<sup>11</sup> — 2<sup>12</sup>
  3. C 2.3<sup>11</sup>
  4. D 3<sup>11</sup> Correct answer

Solution

Let S<sub>1</sub> = 2<sup>10</sup> + 2<sup>9</sup>.3<sup>1</sup> + 2<sup>8</sup> .3<sup>2</sup> +.....+ 2.3<sup>9</sup> + 3<sup>10</sup> ....(1) <br><br>Also ${{3{S_1}} \over 2}$ = 2<sup>9</sup>.3<sup>1</sup> + 2<sup>8</sup> .3<sup>2</sup> +.....+ 2.3<sup>9</sup> + 3<sup>10</sup> + ${{{3^{11}}} \over 2}$ ......(2) <br><br>Performing (1) - (2), we get <br><br>$- {{{S_1}} \over 2} = {2^{10}} - {{{3^{11}}} \over 2}$ <br><br>$\Rightarrow$ S<sub>1</sub> = 3<sup>11</sup> - 2<sup>11</sup> <br><br>According to question, <br><br>3<sup>11</sup> - 2<sup>11</sup> = S - 2<sup>11</sup> <br><br>$\Rightarrow$ S = 3<sup>11</sup>
