Correct answer: C

  1. Write the general term

For (35x+2x53)12,\left(\frac{\sqrt[5]{3}}{x}+\frac{2x}{\sqrt[3]{5}}\right)^{12},(x53​​+35​2x​)12, the general term is Tr+1=(12r)(35x)12−r(2x53)r.T_{r+1}=\binom{12}{r}\left(\frac{\sqrt[5]{3}}{x}\right)^{12-r}\left(\frac{2x}{\sqrt[3]{5}}\right)^r.Tr+1​=(r12​)(x53​​)12−r(35​2x​)r.

  1. Simplify the power of xxx

Tr+1=(12r)(35)12−rx−(12−r)⋅2rxr⋅5−r/3.T_{r+1}=\binom{12}{r}(\sqrt[5]{3})^{12-r}x^{-(12-r)}\cdot 2^r x^r \cdot 5^{-r/3}.Tr+1​=(r12​)(53​)12−rx−(12−r)⋅2rxr⋅5−r/3.

So the power of xxx is x−12+r+r=x2r−12.x^{-12+r+r}=x^{2r-12}.x−12+r+r=x2r−12.

For the constant term, exponent of xxx must be zero: 2r−12=0  ⟹  r=6.2r-12=0 \implies r=6.2r−12=0⟹r=6.

  1. Find the constant term

Substitute r=6r=6r=6: T7=(126)(35x)6(2x53)6.T_7=\binom{12}{6}\left(\frac{\sqrt[5]{3}}{x}\right)^6\left(\frac{2x}{\sqrt[3]{5}}\right)^6.T7​=(612​)(x53​​)6(35​2x​)6.

Now, (126)=924,\binom{12}{6}=924,(612​)=924, (35)6=36/5=3⋅31/5=335,(\sqrt[5]{3})^6=3^{6/5}=3\cdot 3^{1/5}=3\sqrt[5]{3},(53​)6=36/5=3⋅31/5=353​, (153)6=5−2=125,\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{5}}\right)^6=5^{-2}=\frac{1}{25},(35​1​)6=5−2=251​, 26=64.2^6=64.26=64.

Hence, constant term=924⋅64⋅33525.\text{constant term}=924\cdot 64\cdot \frac{3\sqrt[5]{3}}{25}.constant term=924⋅64⋅25353​​.

So, constant term=924⋅3⋅262535.\text{constant term}=\frac{924\cdot 3\cdot 2^6}{25}\sqrt[5]{3}.constant term=25924⋅3⋅26​53​.

Since the question says this equals α×28×35,\alpha\times 2^8\times \sqrt[5]{3},α×28×53​, we equate: α⋅28=924⋅3⋅2625.\alpha\cdot 2^8=\frac{924\cdot 3\cdot 2^6}{25}.α⋅28=25924⋅3⋅26​.

Divide both sides by 262^626: α⋅22=924⋅325\alpha\cdot 2^2=\frac{924\cdot 3}{25}α⋅22=25924⋅3​ 4α=2772254\alpha=\frac{2772}{25}4α=252772​ α=69325.\alpha=\frac{693}{25}.α=25693​.

Therefore, 25α=693.25\alpha=693.25α=693.

  1. Check options
  • A: 724724724
  • B: 742742742
  • C: 693693693
  • D: 639639639

So the correct option is C.
