Question:

The sum of the real values of x for which the middle term in the binomial expansion of

$\left(\frac{x^{3}}{3}+\frac{3}{x}\right)^{8}$ equals 5670 is :

  1. 6

  2. 8

  3. 0

  4. 4


Correct Option: , 3

Solution:

$\mathrm{T}_{5}={ }^{8} \mathrm{C}_{4} \frac{\mathrm{x}^{12}}{81} \times \frac{81}{\mathrm{x}^{4}}=5670$

$\Rightarrow 70 x^{8}=5670$

$\Rightarrow x=\pm \sqrt{3}$
