Answer

D. 2120

Explanation

First, let's rewrite the given integral using the given form of the Beta function. The given integral is: $$\int\limits_0^1\left(1-x^{10}\right)^{20} \mathrm{~d} x$$ To use the Beta function, let us make a substitution. Let $ x^{10} = t $. Then, $ dx = \frac{1}{10}t^{-\frac{9}{10}} dt $ or $ dx = \frac{1}{10} t^{-\frac{9}{10}} dt $. The limits of integration change as follows: when $ x = 0 $, $ t = 0 $, and when $ x = 1 $, $ t = 1 $. Substituting these into the integral, we have: $$\int\limits_0^1 (1 - t)^{20} \cdot \frac{1}{10} t^{-\frac{9}{10}} dt$$ which simplifies to: $$\frac{1}{10} \int\limits_0^1 (1 - t)^{20} t^{-\frac{9}{10}} dt$$ We recognize this integral as a Beta function $ \beta(m, n) $ where $ m = 1 - \frac{9}{10} = \frac{1}{10} $ and $ n = 20 + 1 = 21 $. Therefore, we can write this as: $$\frac{1}{10} \beta \left( \frac{1}{10}, 21 \right)$$ Comparing this to $ a \times \beta(b, c) $, we have $ a = \frac{1}{10} $, $ b = \frac{1}{10} $, and $ c = 21 $. Now we calculate $ 100(a + b + c) $: $$100 \left( \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{10} + 21 \right) = 100 \left( \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{10} + 21 \right) = 100 \left( \frac{1}{5} + 21 \right) = 100 \left( \frac{1}{5} + \frac{105}{5} \right) = 100 \left( \frac{106}{5} \right) = 100 \times 21.2 = 2120$$ So, the answer is Option D, 2120.
