Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\((\sqrt[4]{5}+\sqrt[5]{4})^{100}\) \(\begin{aligned} T_{r+1}= & { }^{100} C_r\left(5^{1 / 4}\right)^{100-r}\left(4^{1 / 5}\right)^r \\ = & { }^{100} C_r(5)^{\frac{100-r}{4}}(4)^{\frac{r}{5}} \end{aligned}\) For riational terms, \(100-r\) must be multiple of 4…
