Let us consider the binomial expansion(1 + x)^(n) = sum_(r=0)^(n) a_(r) x^(r) wherea_(4) , a_(5) "and " a_(6)are in AP , ( nlt10 ). Consider another binomial expansion ofA = root (3)(2) + (root(4) (3))^(13n) ,the expansion of A containssome rational termsT_(a1),T_(a2),T_(a3),...,T_(am) (a_(1) lt a_(2) lt a_(3) lt ...lt a_(m)) The value ofsum_(i=1)^(n) a_(i) is

Solution :`because a_(4) , a_(5) , a_(6) " i.e. """^(n)C_(4) , ""^(n)C_(5),""^(n)C_(6) ` are in AP , then
` 2. ""^(n)C_(5) = ""^(n)C_(4) + ""^(n)C_(6)`
`rArr 2= (""^(n)C_(4))/(""^(n)C_(5)) + (""^(n)C_(6))/(""^(n)C_(5)) = (5)/(n-5 + 1) + (n-6 +1)/(6)`
` rArr 2= (5)/(n-4) + (n-5)/(6)`
` rArr 12 n - 48 = 30 + n^(2) - 9N + 20 `
` rArr n^(2) - 21 n + 98 = 0 rArr n = 7,14 `
Hence , ` n = 7"" [ because n lt 10]`
ALSO , `A = (root(3)(2) + root(4)(3))^(13n) = (2^(1//3) + 3^(1//4))^(91) `
` therefore T_(r+1) = ""^(91)C_(r) (2^(1//3)) ^(91-r) . (3^(1//4))^(r)`
` = ""^(91)C_(r) . 2^(91-r)/(3)) . 3^(r//4)` ...(i)
`sum_(i=1)^(n)a_(i) = sum_(i=1)^(7) a_(i) = a_(1) + a_(2) + a_(3) + ...+ a_(7) `
` = ""^(7)C_(1) +""^(7)C_(2) + ""^(7)C_(3) + ...+ ""^(7)C_(7) = 2^(7) - 1 = 127`
