Solution

The correct option is C (x2+a2)n
We now that,
(x+a)n=xn+C1xn1a+C2xn2a2+=T0+T1+T2+T3+=(T0+T2+T4+)+(T1+T3+T5+)

The 1st bracket involves even powers of a and
2nd bracket involves odd powers of a.
We know that,
i2=1,i4=1,i3=i,i5=i
Therefore, replacing a by ai
(x+ai)n=(T0T2+T4)+i(T1T3+T5)(i)
Now, aai
(xai)n=(T0T2+T4)i(T1T3+T5)(ii) Multiplying (i) and (ii)
(x2+a2)n=(T0T2+T4)2+(T1T3+T5)2
