Correct answer

A. 77

Step-by-step solution

Given,

28−p,p,70−α,α28 - p, p, 70 - \alpha, \alpha are the coefficient of four consecutive terms in the expansion of (1+x)n( 1 + x{)}^{n}

So, Crn=28−p,Cr+1n=p,Cr+2n=70−α and  Cr+3n=αCr n = 28 - p, Cr + 1 n = p, Cr + 2 n = 70 - \alpha \text{\text{ and } } Cr + 3 n = \alpha

⇒Crn+Cr+1n=28 and  ⇒ Cr n + Cr + 1 n = 28 \text{\text{ and } } Cr + 2 n + Cr + 3 n = 70

⇒Cr+1n+1=28 and  ⇒ Cr + 1 n + 1 = 28 \text{\text{ and } } Cr + 3 n + 1 = 70

We know that, C28=28orC128=28C2 8 = 28\text{or} C1 28 = 28, 

Now on comparing with Cr+1n+1=28Cr + 1 n + 1 = 28 we get, (n,r)=\left(n, r\right) =\left(7, 1\right)\text{or}\left(n, r\right)=(27,0)= \left(27, 0\right)

Now, checking with Cr+3n+1=70Cr + 3 n + 1 = 70 we get, \left(n, r\right)=(7,1)= \left(7, 1\right)

So, p = C2 7 = 21 and α=C47=35\alpha = C4 7 = 35

 Hence, the value of 2α−3p=70−63=72\alpha - 3p = 70 - 63 = 7
