    If the second term in the expansion \[{{\left( \sqrt[13]{a}+\frac{a}{\sqrt{{{a}^{-1}}}} \right)}^{n}}\] is \[14{{a}^{5/2}}\], then \[\frac{^{n}{{C}_{3}}}{^{n}{{C}_{2}}}=\]

    A) 4

    B) 3

    C) 12

    D) 6

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] We have \[{{T}_{2}}=14\,{{a}^{\frac{5}{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow {{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{1}}{{({{a}^{\frac{1}{13}}})}^{n-1}}({{a}^{\frac{3}{2}}})=14{{a}^{\frac{5}{2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow n{{a}^{\frac{n-1}{13}+\frac{3}{2}}}=14{{a}^{\frac{5}{2}}}\Rightarrow n=14\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{^{n}{{C}_{3}}}{^{n}{{C}_{2}}}=\frac{^{14}{{C}_{3}}}{^{14}{{C}_{2}}}=\frac{12}{3}=4\]
