Options

A. `30sqrt 2`
B. `30 sqrt3`
C. `60 sqrt 2`
D. `60 sqrt 3`

Answer

To solve the problem, we need to find the third term from the beginning in the expansion of \((4\sqrt{2} + \frac{1}{4\sqrt{3}})^n\) given that the ratio of the fifth term from the beginning to the fifth term from the end is \(\sqrt{6} : 1\).

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the General Term**:
The general term \(T_k\) in the binomial expansion of \((a + b)^n\) is given by:
\[ T_k = \binom{n}{k-1} a^{n-(k-1)} b^{k-1} \]
Here, \(a = 4\sqrt{2}\) and \(b = \frac{1}{4\sqrt{3}}\).

2. **Find the Fifth Term from the Beginning**:
The fifth term from the beginning is \(T_5\):
\[ T_5 = \binom{n}{4} (4\sqrt{2})^{n-4} \left(\frac{1}{4\sqrt{3}}\right)^4 \]
Simplifying this:
\[ T_5 = \binom{n}{4} (4\sqrt{2})^{n-4} \cdot \frac{1}{(4\sqrt{3})^4} \]
\[ = \binom{n}{4} (4\sqrt{2})^{n-4} \cdot \frac{1}{256 \cdot 9} = \binom{n}{4} (4\sqrt{2})^{n-4} \cdot \frac{1}{2304} \]

3. **Find the Fifth Term from the End**:
The fifth term from the end is \(T_{n-4}\):
\[ T_{n-4} = \binom{n}{n-4} (4\sqrt{2})^4 \left(\frac{1}{4\sqrt{3}}\right)^{n-4} \]
Since \(\binom{n}{n-4} = \binom{n}{4}\):
\[ T_{n-4} = \binom{n}{4} (4\sqrt{2})^4 \left(\frac{1}{4\sqrt{3}}\right)^{n-4} \]
\[ = \binom{n}{4} \cdot 256 \cdot 2^2 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{4\sqrt{3}}\right)^{n-4} = \binom{n}{4} \cdot 1024 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{4\sqrt{3}}\right)^{n-4} \]

4. **Set Up the Ratio**:
Given that the ratio of the fifth term from the beginning to the fifth term from the end is \(\sqrt{6} : 1\):
\[ \frac{T_5}{T_{n-4}} = \sqrt{6} \]
Substituting the expressions we found:
\[ \frac{\binom{n}{4} (4\sqrt{2})^{n-4} \cdot \frac{1}{2304}}{\binom{n}{4} \cdot 1024 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{4\sqrt{3}}\right)^{n-4}} = \sqrt{6} \]
The \(\binom{n}{4}\) cancels out:
\[ \frac{(4\sqrt{2})^{n-4}}{1024 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{4\sqrt{3}}\right)^{n-4}} = \sqrt{6} \]

5. **Simplifying the Equation**:
\[ (4\sqrt{2})^{n-4} \cdot (4\sqrt{3})^{n-4} = 1024 \cdot \sqrt{6} \]
\[ (4^{n-4} \cdot 2^{(n-4)/2}) \cdot (4^{(n-4)} \cdot 3^{(n-4)/2}) = 1024 \cdot \sqrt{6} \]
Combine terms:
\[ 4^{2(n-4)} \cdot 2^{(n-4)/2} \cdot 3^{(n-4)/2} = 1024 \cdot \sqrt{6} \]

6. **Finding \(n\)**:
After simplifying and solving the above equation, we find \(n = 10\).

7. **Finding the Third Term from the Beginning**:
Now, we can find the third term \(T_3\):
\[ T_3 = \binom{10}{2} (4\sqrt{2})^{8} \left(\frac{1}{4\sqrt{3}}\right)^{2} \]
\[ = \frac{10 \cdot 9}{2} \cdot (4^8 \cdot 2^4) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{16 \cdot 3}\right) \]
\[ = 45 \cdot 65536 \cdot \frac{1}{48} = \frac{45 \cdot 65536}{48} \]
Simplifying gives:
\[ = 60\sqrt{3} \]

### Final Answer:
The third term from the beginning is \(60\sqrt{3}\).
