Example 4. Using binomial theorem, prove that \(6^n-5n\) always leaves remainder 1 when divided by 25.
Example 6. Show that the middle term in the expansion of \( (1+x)^{2n}\) is \( \frac{1.3.5…(2n-1)}{n!} 2^n . x^n\), where n is a positive integer.
Example 10. Find the term independent of x in the expansion of \( \left ( \frac{3}{2}x^2 – \frac{1}{3x} \right )^6\).
Example 11. If the coefficients of \(a^{r-1}, a^r \text{ and } a^{r+1}\) in the expansion of \( (1+a)^n\) are in arithmetic progression, prove that \( n^2-n(4r+1)+4r^2-2=0\).
Example 12. Show that the coefficient of the middle term in the expansion of \( (1+x)^{2n} \) is equal to the sum of the coefficients of two middle terms in the expansion of \( (1+x)^{2n-1} \).
