Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(7\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & 49^n+16 n-1=(1+48)^n+16 n-1 \\ = & 1+{ }^n C_1(48)+{ }^n C_2(48)^2+\ldots .+{ }^n C_n(48)^n+16 n-1 \\ = & (48 n+16 n)+{ }^n C_2(48)^2+\ldots .+{ }^n C_n(48)^n \\ = & 64 n+8^n\left({ }^n C_2 6^2+{ }^n C_3 6^3 8+\ldots+{ }^n C_n 6^n 8^{n-2}\right) \end{aligned}…
