Q66.If f(y) = 1 −(y −1) + (y −1)2 −(y −1)3 + … −(y −1)17 then the coefficient of y2 in it is (1) 17C2 (2) 17C3 (3) 18C2 (4) 18C3

What This Question Tests

This question involves recognizing a finite geometric series, summing it, and then using the binomial expansion of (y-1)^18 to extract the coefficient of y^2 after dividing by y.

Concepts Tested

Geometric series sumBinomial expansionCoefficient extraction

Formulas Used

Sum of finite GP: a(1-r^n)/(1-r)

(x+y)^n = Σ C(n,k) x^(n-k) y^k
