Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 41

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The general term is \(T_{r+1} = \binom{10}{r} (2^{1/2})^{10-r} (3^{1/5})^r = \binom{10}{r} 2^{(10-r)/2} 3^{r/5}\). For the term to be rational, \((10-r)/2\) and \(r/5\) must be integers. \(r\) must be an even multiple of 5: \(r \in \{0, 10\}\). For \(r=0\):…
