7.Binomial Theorem
medium
If the coefficient of $x$ in the expansion of ${\left( {{x^2} + \frac{k}{x}} \right)^5}$ is $270$, then $k =$
A
$1$
B
$2$
C
$3$
D
$4$
Solution
(c) ${T_{r + 1}} = {}^5{C_r}{({x^2})^{5 – r}}{\left( {\frac{k}{x}} \right)^r}$
For coefficient of $x$, $10 – 2r – r = 1\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow r = 3$
Hence, ${T_{3 + 1}} = {}^5{C_3}{({x^2})^{5 – 3}}{\left( {\frac{k}{x}} \right)^3}$
According to question, $10\,{k^3} = 270\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,k = 3$.
