    If\[{{(1+ax)}^{n}}=1+6x+\frac{27}{2}{{x}^{2}}+....+{{a}^{n}}{{x}^{n}},\]then the values of a and n are respectively

    A)  \[2,3\]                 

    B)         \[3,2\]

    C)  \[\frac{3}{2},4\]              

    D)         \[1,6\]

    E)  \[\frac{3}{2},6\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given, \[{{(1+ax)}^{n}}=1+6x+\frac{27}{2}{{x}^{2}}+...+{{a}^{n}}{{x}^{n}}\]        ...(i) The expansion of\[{{(1+ax)}^{n}}\] is, \[{{(1+ax)}^{n}}=1+n\,ax+\frac{n(n-1)}{2!}{{(ax)}^{2}}+....\]   ...(ii) On comparing the coefficient of like powers of\[x\]in Eqs. (i) and (ii), \[na=6\]                              ...(iii)                 \[\frac{27}{2}=\frac{n(n-1)}{2}.{{a}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[27=(n-1)(na).a\] \[27=(n-1)a\,6\]                       [from Eq. (iii)] \[(n-1)a=\frac{9}{2}\]                   ...(iv) From Eqs. (iii) and (iv),                 \[\frac{(n-1)6}{n}=\frac{9}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{n-1}{n}=\frac{3}{4}\]       \[\Rightarrow \]               \[4n-4=3n\]        \[\Rightarrow \]               \[n=4\] From Eq. (iii), \[a=\frac{6}{4}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[a=3/2\]
