General term of (a + b)n is Tr+1 = nCr an-rbr
Explanation:
the general term of \(\left(2^{\frac{1}{5}} + 5^{\frac{1}{3}}\right)^{15}\) is
\(T_{r+1} = {^{15}C_r} \left(5^{\frac{1}{3}}\right)^r \left(2^{\frac{1}{5}}\right)^{15-r}\)
\(= {^{15}C_r} 5^{\frac{r}{3}}\cdot 2^{\frac{15-r}{5}}\)
terms will be rational if
⇒ r = 0, 15
So, 2 rational terms are there
Sum of rational terms
= 15C0 23 + 15C15 (5)5
= 8 + 3125 = 3133
Option (1) is true.
