Correct answer: 57
Let the middle-term coefficients of the three given expansions be the first three terms of an A.P.
We compute them one by one.
1. Coefficient of the middle term in
For , the single middle term is the rd term.
General term:
For the middle term, :
So its coefficient is
Thus,
2. Coefficient of the middle term in
For power , the single middle term is the 2nd term.
Expansion:
So the middle term is , whose coefficient is
3. Coefficient of the middle term in
For , the single middle term is the th term.
General term:
For the middle term, :
Therefore coefficient is
4. Use A.P. condition
Since are in A.P.,
Substitute:
Since , divide by :
Multiply by :
Solve:
So,
Given , hence
5. Find common difference
Substitute :
6. Compute the required value
We need
Now,
and
Thus,
Therefore,
