If the ratio of the fifth term from the beginning to the fifth term...

If the ratio of the fifth term from the beginning to the fifth term from the end in the expansion of (24+134)nis{\left(24 + \dfrac{1}{34}\right)}^{n} is\sqrt{6}: 1$, then the third term from the beginning is:

Options

  1. A30230\sqrt{2}
  2. B30330\sqrt{3}
  3. C60260\sqrt{2}
  4. D60360\sqrt{3}

Correct answer

D. 60360\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step solution

Given expansion is(24+134)n{\left(24 + \dfrac{1}{34}\right)}^{n}

We know that general term of an expansion (x+a)n{\left(x + a\right)}^{n} is Tr+1=Crnxn−rar{T}_{r + 1} = Cr n {x}^{n - r}{a}^{r}

(5th{5}^{th} term from beginning)

T4+1=C4n(24)n−4⋅(134)4{T}_{4 + 1} = C4 n ( 24 {)}^{n - 4} \cdot {\left(\dfrac{1}{34}\right)}^{4}

(5th{5}^{th} term from end)

We know that rrth term from the end in a binomial expansion is Tn−r+2{T}_{n - r + 2} from the beginning.

T5′=Tn−4+1=C4n(134)n−4(24)4{T}_{5}^{'} = {T}_{n - 4 + 1} = C4 n {\left(\dfrac{1}{34}\right)}^{n - 4} ( 24 {)}^{4}

It is also given that the ratio of the fifth term from the beginning to the fifth term from the end is 6:1\sqrt{6}: 1.

Now, T5T5′=61{T}_{5}{T}_{5}^{'} = \dfrac{\sqrt{6}}{1}

⇒2n−84⋅3n−84=6⇒ 2\dfrac{n - 8}{4} \cdot 3\dfrac{n - 8}{4} = \sqrt{6}

∴(6)n−82=(6)∴ ( \sqrt{6}) \dfrac{n - 8}{2} = ( \sqrt{6} )

∴n=10∴ n = 10

∴T3=C210(24)8(134)2=45×43∴ {T}_{3} = C2 10 {\left(24\right)}^{8}{\left(\dfrac{1}{34}\right)}^{2} = \dfrac{45 \times 4}{\sqrt{3}}

=603= 60\sqrt{3}

Hence, this is the correct option.
