25. Given : (101)4
Here 101 can be written as the sum or the difference of two numbers, such that
the binomial theorem can be applied.

copyright@RidikEdification pvt. ltd 7

 Therefore, 101 = 100 + 1
Hence, (101)4 = (100 + 1)4
Now, by applying the binomial theorem, we get :
(101)4 = (100 + 1)4= 4 C0 (100)4 4 C1 (100)3 (1) 4 C2 (100) 2 (1) 2 4 C3(100)(1) 3 4 C4(1) 4
(101)4  (100)4  4(100)3  6(100)2  4(100)  (1) 4
(101)4 = 100000000 + 4000000 + 60000 + 400 + 1
(101)4 = 104060401
Hence, the value of (101)4 is 104060401

28. (i) We have,
(1 + i) y2 + (6 + i) = (2 + i) x
 (y2 + 6) + i(y2 + 1) = 2x + ix
 y2 + 6 = 2x … (i)
2
And y + 1 = x
From (i) and (ii), we get
y2 + 6 = 2(y2 + 1)  y2 = 4  y =  2
Substituting y =  2 in (ii), we get x = 5.
Thus, x = 5 and y = 2 or, x = 5 and y = -2

copyright@RidikEdification pvt. ltd 8

 (ii) We have,
(x4 + 2xi) – (3x2 + iy) = (3 – 5i) + (1 + 2iy)
 (x4 – 3x2) + i(2x – 4) = 4 + i(2y – 5)
 x4 – 3x2 = 4 and, 2x – y = 2y – 5 [On equating real
and imaginary parts]
 x4 – 3x2 – 4 = 0, 2x – 3y + 5 = 0
Now, x4 – 3x2 – 4 = 0  (x2 – 4) (x2 + 1) = 0  x2 – 4 = 0  x =  2
Putting x =  2 in 2x – 3y + 5 = 0, we get
y = 3 when x = 2 and y = 1/3 when x = -2
Thus, x = 2 and y = 3 or, x = - 2 and y = 1/3.
29. Total number of marbles = 6 white + 5 red = 11 marbles
(a) If they can be of any colour means we have to select 4 marbles out of 11

(b) Two white marbles can be selected in 6 C2

Two red marbles can be selected in 5 C2 ways.

 Total number of ways = 6 C2 × 5 C2 = 15 × 10 = 150

(c) If they all must be of same colour,
Four white marbles out of six can be selected in 6 C4 ways.

And 4 red marbles out of 5 can be selected in 5 C4 ways.
