This one is a good question.. It took me some time to get hold of what was going on:

A hint for you...

ar=a2n-r

Now try This .. otherwise I will solve it :)

Diff the expansion & substituting x=1

sigma ]1 to 2n [

(4r-3)ar = (4n-3)(p+2)n + 3

So, remainder is 3

put x=1 and differentiate the expression and then put x=1 solves i think.

But use substitution in the original eqn I'm gettin ans as 0

\\(1+px+x^2)^n=1+a_1x+a_2x^2+...+a_nx^{2n} \\S=a_1+5a_2+9a_3+..+(8n-3)a_{2n} \\S=(8n-3)a_{1}+.....+(1)a_{2n} \\2S=(8n-2)[a_1+a_2+a_3+..+a_{2n}] \\S=(4n-1)[a_1+a_2+a_3+..+a_{2n}] = 4(1+p+1)^n \text{Puttin x=1 in the first equation} \\S=(4n-1)[a_1+a_2+a_3+..+a_{2n}] = 4(2+p)^n

So the remainder is zero :)

this q if i m not wrong was asked in previous year's fiitjee's part test 3

qwerty ·

is the following substitution correct????

n=1, p =-1, x= 1

then 1= 1+a1

thus a1 = 0

and we will need to find the remainder when p+2 = 1 divides a1
wich is zero

@Nishant Sir : Thanks

@Deepak: This qs was from a book.I don't remember abt fiitjee

@Qwerty : Ya By substitution we'll get the ans but i wanted the solution
