  4. D \(26.5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 27

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The expansion of \((x+a)^{n} + (x-a)^{n}\) is given by \(2[^{n}C_{0}x^{n} + ^{n}C_{2}x^{n-2}a^{2} + ^{n}C_{4}x^{n-4}a^{4} + \dots]\). For \(n = 53\), the expansion is \((x+a)^{53} + (x-a)^{53} = 2[^{53}C_{0}x^{53} + ^{53}C_{2}x^{51}a^{2} + \dots + ^{53}C_{52}x^{1}a^{52}]\). The…
