Class 11 Mathematics — Chapter 8: Binomial Theorem

66 practice questions · 22 Easy · 22 Medium · 22 Hard

Practise Class 11 Mathematics Chapter 8, "Binomial Theorem", with 66 NCERT-aligned multiple-choice questions. The set is split into 22 Easy, 22 Medium and 22 Hard questions, so you can warm up on the fundamentals and then push into the exam-level problems that separate top scorers in CBSE Board exams, JEE Main and JEE Advanced.

"Binomial Theorem" is one of the chapters where problem-solving speed, formula recall and step-by-step reasoning really pays off. Each MCQ on this chapter is timed and uses exam-grade marking (+2 correct, −1 wrong, 0 skipped), training the same accuracy-under-pressure that real papers demand. Every question carries a short explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a quick lesson rather than a dead end — the fastest way to close gaps before a test.

Use this chapter as targeted revision: attempt the Easy set first to confirm your basics on Binomial Theorem, then move to Medium and Hard to test application and problem-solving. Your accuracy, streaks and XP save automatically, and the chapter feeds into your overall Class 11 Mathematics mastery score. A few sample questions are shown below; sign in free to practise all 66.

Key concepts: Binomial Theorem (Class 11 Mathematics)

This chapter develops the Binomial Theorem for positive integral indices, the general and middle terms, and their applications.

Binomial Theorem
(a+b)ⁿ expands as a sum of n+1 terms with binomial coefficients nCr.
General term
The (r+1)th term is T(r+1) = nCr·a^(n−r)·b^r — used to find any specific term.
Middle term
For even n there is one middle term; for odd n there are two middle terms.
Binomial coefficients
nC0, nC1, …, nCn; they are symmetric and their sum is 2ⁿ.
Applications
Finding a particular term, term independent of x, and approximate values.

Key formulas — Binomial Theorem

Binomial expansion
(a+b)ⁿ = Σ nCr·a^{n−r}·b^r, r = 0…n
General term
T_{r+1} = nCr·a^{n−r}·b^r
Sum of coefficients
nC0 + nC1 + … + nCn = 2ⁿ

💡 Exam tips for Binomial Theorem

  • Use the general term T(r+1) to target a specific power of x or the term independent of x.
  • Count terms as n+1 in the expansion of (a+b)ⁿ; locate the middle term accordingly.
