If x is positive, the first negative term in the expansion of 
is :
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
(r + 1) th term in the expansion of (1 + x) 27/5
= 
Now this term will be negative, if the last factor in numerator is the only negative factor.
⇒ 
– r + 1 < 0 ⇒ 
< r
⇒ 6.4 < r ⇒ least value of r is 7.
Thus first negative term will be 8th.
