Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(33\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[ \begin{aligned} & (\sqrt{3}+\sqrt[8]{5})^{256} \\ T_{r+1} & ={ }^{256} C_r\left(3^{1 / 2}\right)^{256-r}\left(5^{1 / 8}\right)^r \end{aligned} \] For integral terms, \(r\) must be divisible by 2 and 8 . \(\therefore \quad r\) must be divisible by 8 i.e.…
