Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 13

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In the expansion of \(\left(3^{1 / 4}+7^{1 / 6}\right)^{144}\) General term is \[ \begin{aligned} T_{r+1} & ={ }^{144} C_r\left(3^{1 / 4}\right)^{144-r}\left(7^{1 / 6}\right)^r \\ & ={ }^{144} C_r(3)^{\frac{144-r}{4}} 7^{\frac{r}{6}} \end{aligned} \] For rational terms \(144-r\)…
