If $\frac{x^4+24 x^2+28}{\left(x^2+1\right)^3}=\frac{A}{\left(x^2+1\right)}+\frac{B}{\left(x^2+1\right)^2}+$ $\frac{C}{\left(x^2+1\right)^3}$, then $A+C=$
  1. 12
  2. 10
  3. 9
  4. 6

Solution

$ \begin{aligned} & \text { If } \frac{x^4+24 x^2+28}{\left(x^2+1\right)^3}=\frac{A}{x^2+1}+\frac{B}{\left(x^2+1\right)^2} \\ & +\frac{C}{\left(x^2+1\right)^3} \\ & \Rightarrow x^4+24 x^2+28=A\left(x^2+1\right)^2+B\left(x^2+1\right)+C \\ & \end{aligned} $ On comparing the coefficient of different terms $ \begin{aligned} & A=1 ; 2 A+B=24 \text { and } A+B+C=28 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad A=1, B=22 \text {, so } A+C=6 . \end{aligned} $
