The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

$\left(1+ 0.0001\right)^{10000} = \left(1+ \frac{1}{n}\right)^{n} , n =10000$ $ = 1 + n. \frac{1}{n} + \frac{n\left(n-1\right)}{2!} \frac{1}{n^{2}} + \frac{n\left(n-1\right)\left(n-2\right)}{3!} \frac{1}{n^{3}} + ..... $ $= 1 + 1 + \frac{1}{2!} \left(1-\frac{1}{n}\right) + \frac{1}{3!} \left(1- \frac{1}{n}\right) + \left(1- \frac{2}{n}\right) + .... $ $< 1 + \frac{1}{1!} + \frac{1}{2!} + \frac{1}{3!} + ..... + \frac{1}{\left(9999\right)!} $ $ = 1 + \frac{1}{1!} + \frac{1}{2!} + ..... \infty= e < 3 $

Binomial Theorem

The binomial theorem formula is used in the expansion of any power of a binomial in the form of a series. The binomial theorem formula is 

Properties of Binomial Theorem

  • The number of coefficients in the binomial expansion of (x + y)n is equal to (n + 1).
  • There are (n+1) terms in the expansion of (x+y)n.
  • The first and the last terms are xn and yn respectively.
  • From the beginning of the expansion, the powers of x, decrease from n up to 0, and the powers of a, increase from 0 up to n.
  • The binomial coefficients in the expansion are arranged in an array, which is called Pascal's triangle. This pattern developed is summed up by the binomial theorem formula.
