$\left(x-\frac{3}{x^{2}}\right)^{m}, x \neq 0,$ जहाँ $m$ एक प्राकृत संख्या है, के प्रसार में पहले तीन पदों के गुणांकों का योग $559$ है। प्रसार में $x^{3}$ वाला पद ज्ञात कीजिए।

The coefficients of the first three terms of ${\left( {x - \frac{3}{{{x^2}}}} \right)^m}$ are $^m{C_0},( - 3){\,^m}{C_1}$ and $\,9{\,^m}{C_2}$. Therefore, by the given condition, we have

$^m{C_0} - 3{\,^m}{C_1} + 9{\,^m}{C_2} = 559,$   i.e.,  $1 - 3m + \frac{{9m(m - 1)}}{2} = 559$

which gives $m=12$ ( $m$ being a natural number).

Now ${T_{r + 1}} = {\,^{12}}{C_r}{x^{12 - r}}{\left( { - \frac{3}{{{x^2}}}} \right)^r} = {\,^{12}}{C_r}{( - 3)^r} \cdot {x^{12 - 3r}}$

Since we need the term containing $x^{3}$, so put $12-3 r=3$ i.e., $r=3$

Thus, the required term is ${\,^{12}}{C_3}{( - 3)^3}{x^3},$ i.e., $-5940 x^{3}$
