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

(16+βx)4\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}+\beta x\right)^4(6​1​+βx)4

For (a+b)4(a+b)^4(a+b)4, the single middle term is the (42+1)=3\left(\frac{4}{2}+1\right)=3(24​+1)=3rd term.

General term: Tr+1=(4r)(16)4−r(βx)rT_{r+1}=\binom{4}{r}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}\right)^{4-r}(\beta x)^rTr+1​=(r4​)(6​1​)4−r(βx)r

For the middle term, r=2r=2r=2: T3=(42)(16)2(βx)2T_3=\binom{4}{2}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}}\right)^2(\beta x)^2T3​=(24​)(6​1​)2(βx)2

So its coefficient is (42)⋅16⋅β2=6⋅16β2=β2\binom{4}{2}\cdot \frac{1}{6}\cdot \beta^2=6\cdot \frac{1}{6}\beta^2=\beta^2(24​)⋅61​⋅β2=6⋅61​β2=β2

Thus, a1=β2a_1=\beta^2a1​=β2


2. Coefficient of the middle term in

(1−3βx)2(1-3\beta x)^2(1−3βx)2

For power 222, the single middle term is the 2nd term.

Expansion: (1−3βx)2=1−6βx+9β2x2(1-3\beta x)^2=1-6\beta x+9\beta^2x^2(1−3βx)2=1−6βx+9β2x2

So the middle term is −6βx-6\beta x−6βx, whose coefficient is a2=−6βa_2=-6\betaa2​=−6β


3. Coefficient of the middle term in

(1−β2x)6\left(1-\frac{\beta}{2}x\right)^6(1−2β​x)6

For (a+b)6(a+b)^6(a+b)6, the single middle term is the (62+1)=4\left(\frac{6}{2}+1\right)=4(26​+1)=4th term.

General term: Tr+1=(6r)(1)6−r(−β2x)rT_{r+1}=\binom{6}{r}(1)^{6-r}\left(-\frac{\beta}{2}x\right)^rTr+1​=(r6​)(1)6−r(−2β​x)r

For the middle term, r=3r=3r=3: T4=(63)(−β2x)3T_4=\binom{6}{3}\left(-\frac{\beta}{2}x\right)^3T4​=(36​)(−2β​x)3

Therefore coefficient is a3=(63)(−β2)3=20(−β38)=−52β3a_3=\binom{6}{3}\left(-\frac{\beta}{2}\right)^3=20\left(-\frac{\beta^3}{8}\right)=-\frac{5}{2}\beta^3a3​=(36​)(−2β​)3=20(−8β3​)=−25​β3


4. Use A.P. condition

Since a1,a2,a3a_1,a_2,a_3a1​,a2​,a3​ are in A.P., 2a2=a1+a32a_2=a_1+a_32a2​=a1​+a3​

Substitute: 2(−6β)=β2−52β32(-6\beta)=\beta^2-\frac{5}{2}\beta^32(−6β)=β2−25​β3

−12β=β2−52β3-12\beta=\beta^2-\frac{5}{2}\beta^3−12β=β2−25​β3

Since β>0\beta>0β>0, divide by β\betaβ: −12=β−52β2-12=\beta-\frac{5}{2}\beta^2−12=β−25​β2

Multiply by 222: −24=2β−5β2-24=2\beta-5\beta^2−24=2β−5β2

5β2−2β−24=05\beta^2-2\beta-24=05β2−2β−24=0

Solve: β=2±4+48010=2±2210\beta=\frac{2\pm\sqrt{4+480}}{10}=\frac{2\pm 22}{10}β=102±4+480​​=102±22​

So, β=2410=125orβ=−2\beta=\frac{24}{10}=\frac{12}{5} \quad \text{or} \quad \beta=-2β=1024​=512​orβ=−2

Given β>0\beta>0β>0, hence β=125\beta=\frac{12}{5}β=512​


5. Find common difference ddd

d=a2−a1=−6β−β2d=a_2-a_1=-6\beta-\beta^2d=a2​−a1​=−6β−β2

Substitute β=125\beta=\frac{12}{5}β=512​: d=−6⋅125−(125)2d=-6\cdot \frac{12}{5}-\left(\frac{12}{5}\right)^2d=−6⋅512​−(512​)2

d=−725−14425=−360+14425=−50425d=-\frac{72}{5}-\frac{144}{25}=-\frac{360+144}{25}=-\frac{504}{25}d=−572​−25144​=−25360+144​=−25504​


6. Compute the required value

We need 50−2dβ250-\frac{2d}{\beta^2}50−β22d​

Now, β2=14425\beta^2=\frac{144}{25}β2=25144​

and 2d=2(−50425)=−1008252d=2\left(-\frac{504}{25}\right)=-\frac{1008}{25}2d=2(−25504​)=−251008​

Thus, 2dβ2=−1008/25144/25=−1008144=−7\frac{2d}{\beta^2}=\frac{-1008/25}{144/25}=\frac{-1008}{144}=-7β22d​=144/25−1008/25​=144−1008​=−7

Therefore, 50−2dβ2=50−(−7)=5750-\frac{2d}{\beta^2}=50-(-7)=5750−β22d​=50−(−7)=57


Final Answer

57\boxed{57}57​
