The coefficient of the middle term in the binomial expansion in powers of x of (1+ax)4 and of (1-ax)6 is the same if a=

a
35
b
103
c
310
d
-310

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Middle term in the expansion of (1+ax)4is C(4,2)(ax)2 and Middle term in the expansion of (1-ax)6is C(6,3)(-ax)3 Equate these two cofficieints of terms  C(4,2)a2=-C(6,3)a3 6=-20a a=-310
