Solution

The correct option is D 53x+1+1x1
Let 8x43x22x1=8x4(x1)(3x+1)=A(x1)+B(3x+1) ..... (1)
Multiply (x1)(3x+1) on both the sides, we get
8x4=A(3x+1)+B(x1)
Put x=1 to find value of A
8(1)4=A[3(1)+1]A=1
Put x=13 to find value of B
8(13)4=B(131)B=5
Substitute the values of A and B in equation (1), we get
8x43x22x1=1(x1)+5(3x+1)
