The man can give either 0 , 5 , 1 0 . . . . rupees. So the required answer is:
a j + a 2 j + a 3 j . . . . ; where a n represent coefficient of x n in the expansion ( 1 + x + x 2 + . . . . . + x m j − 1 ) n
Plugging in values, we need to find a 5 + a 1 0 + a 1 5 in ( 1 + x + x 2 + . . . . . + x 1 4 ) 6 .
For this we plug in 5 t h roots of unity one by one in the expression and sum it then divide the summation by 5 . Also it is easy to say that except for 1 all other 5 t h roots of unity give value 0 when put into expression so our answer simplifies into:
5 1 5 6 − 1 = 2 2 7 8 1 2 4
