Correct answer: A

  1. Given function

    f(x)=2xn+λ,λ∈R,  n∈Nf(x)=2x^n+\lambda,\quad \lambda\in \mathbb{R},\; n\in \mathbb{N}f(x)=2xn+λ,λ∈R,n∈N

    and

    f(4)=133,f(5)=255f(4)=133,\qquad f(5)=255f(4)=133,f(5)=255

  2. Use the given values

    From f(4)=133f(4)=133f(4)=133: 2⋅4n+λ=133⇒2⋅4n+λ=1332\cdot 4^n+\lambda=133 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 2\cdot 4^n+\lambda=1332⋅4n+λ=133⇒2⋅4n+λ=133

    From f(5)=255f(5)=255f(5)=255: 2⋅5n+λ=2552\cdot 5^n+\lambda=2552⋅5n+λ=255

  3. Eliminate λ\lambdaλ

    Subtract the first equation from the second: 2⋅5n−2⋅4n=255−133=1222\cdot 5^n-2\cdot 4^n=255-133=1222⋅5n−2⋅4n=255−133=122

    2(5n−4n)=1222(5^n-4^n)=1222(5n−4n)=122

    5n−4n=615^n-4^n=615n−4n=61

  4. Find nnn

    Since 616161 is small, test natural numbers:

    • For n=1n=1n=1: 51−41=5−4=15^1-4^1=5-4=151−41=5−4=1
    • For n=2n=2n=2: 52−42=25−16=95^2-4^2=25-16=952−42=25−16=9
    • For n=3n=3n=3: 53−43=125−64=615^3-4^3=125-64=6153−43=125−64=61

    Hence, n=3n=3n=3

  5. Find λ\lambdaλ

    Using f(4)=133f(4)=133f(4)=133: 2⋅43+λ=1332\cdot 4^3+\lambda=1332⋅43+λ=133 2⋅64+λ=1332\cdot 64+\lambda=1332⋅64+λ=133 128+λ=133128+\lambda=133128+λ=133 λ=5\lambda=5λ=5

    So, f(x)=2x3+5f(x)=2x^3+5f(x)=2x3+5

  6. Compute f(3)−f(2)f(3)-f(2)f(3)−f(2)

    f(3)=2⋅33+5=2⋅27+5=59f(3)=2\cdot 3^3+5=2\cdot 27+5=59f(3)=2⋅33+5=2⋅27+5=59 f(2)=2⋅23+5=2⋅8+5=21f(2)=2\cdot 2^3+5=2\cdot 8+5=21f(2)=2⋅23+5=2⋅8+5=21

    Therefore, f(3)−f(2)=59−21=38f(3)-f(2)=59-21=38f(3)−f(2)=59−21=38

  7. Find the sum of positive divisors of 383838

    Prime factorization: 38=2×1938=2\times 1938=2×19

    Positive divisors are: 1,  2,  19,  381,\;2,\;19,\;381,2,19,38

    Their sum is: 1+2+19+38=601+2+19+38=601+2+19+38=60

  8. Conclusion

    The required sum is 60\boxed{60}60​

    So the correct option is A.
