Solution

The correct option is A a<b
(1+2x+5x2)n
For sum of the coefficients of x, we substitute x=1.
Hence sum of the coefficients of x is equal to 8n
Hence a=8n
(1+3x)3n
For sum of the coefficients of x, we substitute x=1.
Hence sum of the coefficients of x is equal to 43n
Hence b=43n
=64n
Hence b>a.
The other options are not satisfied.
