The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( n \) such that the expansion of \[ \left( \frac{3}{7} \sqrt{x} - \frac{5}{2} \frac{1}{x \sqrt{x}} \right)^{13n} \] contains a term independent of \( x \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the General Term**: The general term in the binomial expansion of \( (a + b)^n \) is given by: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{n}{r} a^r b^{n-r} \] Here, we will replace \( a \) and \( b \) with \( \frac{3}{7} \sqrt{x} \) and \( -\frac{5}{2} \frac{1}{x \sqrt{x}} \) respectively, and \( n \) with \( 13n \). 2. **Substituting Values**: The general term becomes: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{13n}{r} \left( \frac{3}{7} \sqrt{x} \right)^r \left( -\frac{5}{2} \frac{1}{x \sqrt{x}} \right)^{13n - r} \] 3. **Simplifying the General Term**: This can be simplified as: \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{13n}{r} \left( \frac{3^r}{7^r} x^{r/2} \right) \left( -\frac{5^{13n - r}}{2^{13n - r} x^{13n - r} \sqrt{x}^{13n - r}} \right) \] Combining the powers of \( x \): \[ T_{r+1} = \binom{13n}{r} \left( \frac{3^r (-5)^{13n - r}}{7^r 2^{13n - r}} \right) x^{\frac{r}{2} - (13n - r) - \frac{13n - r}{2}} \] 4. **Finding the Power of \( x \)**: The exponent of \( x \) simplifies to: \[ \frac{r}{2} - (13n - r) - \frac{13n - r}{2} = \frac{r}{2} - 13n + r - \frac{13n}{2} + \frac{r}{2} = r - 13n \] 5. **Setting the Exponent to Zero**: For the term to be independent of \( x \), we set the exponent equal to zero: \[ r - 13n = 0 \implies r = 13n \] 6. **Finding the Value of \( r \)**: From the earlier steps, we also derived: \[ r = \frac{39n}{4} \] 7. **Equating the Two Expressions for \( r \)**: Set the two expressions for \( r \) equal: \[ 13n = \frac{39n}{4} \] 8. **Solving for \( n \)**: Multiply both sides by 4 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 52n = 39n \implies 52n - 39n = 0 \implies 13n = 0 \] This implies \( n \) must be a multiple of 4 for \( r \) to be an integer. ### Conclusion: Thus, \( n \) should be a multiple of **4**.
