Q31 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (25 Jul Shift 2) · Mathematics

The sum of all those terms which are rational numbers in the expansion of 213+31412 is:

  • A
    89
  • B
    27
  • C
    35
  • Correct answer
    D
    43

Solution

rth term in the expansion of 213+31412 is 

Tr+1=Cr122r3·312-r4

Since, Tr+1 will be rational number, when r = 0,3,6,9,12 and r = 0,4,8,12 

⇒r=0,12 for rational term of the expansion

Therefore, T1+T13=1×33+1×24×1

=27+16

=43.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
