Question 4 Find n, if the ratio of the fifth term from the beginning to the fifth term from the end in the expansion of (∜2+ 1/∜3)^𝑛 is √6 : 1 We know that General term of expansion (a + b)n Tr + 1 = nCr an – rbr Fifth term from beginning We need to calculate T5 = T4 + 1 Putting r = 4 , a = ∜2 , b = (1/∜3) T4 + 1 = nC4(∜2)n – 4.(1/∜3)4 T5 = nC4 γ€–((2)γ€—^(1/4))n – 4 .(1/3^(1/4) )4 T5 = nC4 γ€–(2)γ€—^(1/4 Γ— (𝑛 βˆ’ 4)) .(1/3^(1/4) )4 = nCr γ€–(2)γ€—^(1/4 Γ—(π‘›βˆ’4)) .(1/3) Finding 5th term from end We know that (a + b)n = nCo an bo +nC1 an–1 b1 +……..+ nCn–1 (a)n – (n–1) .bn–1 +nCn a0 bn = an + nC1 an–1b1 + ………………………+ nC1 a1bn–1 + bn = bn + nC1 a1 bn–1 +…………………+ nC1 an–1 b1 + an Hence, 5th term from end = (n – 3)th term from beginning Another method, rth term from end = (n – r + 2)th term from stating 5th term from end = (n – 5 + 2)th term from stating = (n – 3)th term from beginning Now we need to calculate (n – 3)th term of expansion (√(πŸ’&𝟐) + 𝟏/√(πŸ’&πŸ‘) )r Tr + 1 = nCr an – rbr Putting r = (n – 3) – 1 = n – 4 a = ∜2 , b = 1/∜3 T(n – 4 + 1) = nCn – 4 (∜2)^(𝑛 βˆ’(π‘›βˆ’4)) . (1/∜3)^(𝑛 βˆ’ 4) = nCn – 4 [γ€–(2)γ€—^(1/4) ]^"n – n + 4" . (1/3^(1/4) )^(𝑛 βˆ’ 4) = nCn – 4 [γ€–(2)γ€—^(1/4) ]^"4" .

(1/3)^((4 βˆ’ 𝑛 + 4)/4) = √6/1 (〖𝑛𝐢〗_4 )/(〖𝑛𝐢〗_(π‘›βˆ’4) ). 2^((𝑛 βˆ’ 8)/4 ). (1/3)^((8 βˆ’ 𝑛)/4) = √6/1 (〖𝑛𝐢〗_4 )/(〖𝑛𝐢〗_(π‘›βˆ’4) ). 2^((𝑛 βˆ’ 8)/4 ).
