Let α > 0 , β > 0 be such that α 3 + β 2 = 4 . If the maximum value of the term…

Let α>0,β>0 be such that α3+β2=4. If the maximum value of the term independent of x in the binomial expansion of αx19+βx-1610 is 10k, then k is equal to
  1. 336
  2. 352
  3. 84
  4. 176

Solution

 Tr+1=Cr10αx1910-rβx-16r

Tr+1=Cr10α10-rβrx10-r9-r6

Term independent of x Power of x=0

10-r9-r6=0  r=4

T5=C410α6β4

Now Let α3,β2 are two numbers. Clearly both are positive.
