Step-by-step solution

α=∑r=0n(4r2+2r+1).nCr\alpha=\sum_{\mathrm{r}=0}^{\mathrm{n}}\left(4 \mathrm{r}^{2}+2 \mathrm{r}+1\right) .{ }^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}

α=4n(n−1)⋅2n−2+4n⋅2n−1+2n⋅2n−1+2n\alpha=4 \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}-1) \cdot 2^{\mathrm{n}-2}+4 \mathrm{n} \cdot 2^{\mathrm{n}-1}+2 \mathrm{n} \cdot 2^{\mathrm{n}-1}+2^{\mathrm{n}}

α=2n−2[4n(n−1)+8n+4n+4]\alpha=2^{n-2}[4 n(n-1)+8 n+4 n+4]

α=2n−2[4n2+8n+4]\alpha=2^{\mathrm{n}-2}\left[4 \mathrm{n}^{2}+8 \mathrm{n}+4\right] α=2n(n+1)2\alpha=2 \mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}+1)^{2}

β=∑r=0nnCrr+1+1n+1\beta=\sum_{\mathrm{r}=0}^{\mathrm{n}} \frac{{ }^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{r}}}{\mathrm{r}+1}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}+1}

=∑r=0nn+1Cr+1n+1+1n+1=\sum_{\mathrm{r}=0}^{\mathrm{n}} \frac{{ }^{\mathrm{n}+1} C_{\mathrm{r}+1}}{\mathrm{n}+1}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{n}+1}

=1n+1(1+n+1C1+….++n+1Cn+1)=\frac{1}{n+1}\left(1+{ }^{n+1} C_{1}+\ldots .++^{n+1} C_{n+1}\right)

=2n+1n+1=\frac{2^{\mathrm{n}+1}}{\mathrm{n}+1}

2αβ=2n+1(n+1)22n+1.(n+1)=(n+1)3\frac{2 \alpha}{\beta}=\frac{2^{n+1}(n+1)^{2}}{2^{n+1}} .(\mathrm{n}+1)=(\mathrm{n}+1)^{3} 140<(n+1)3<281140<(\mathrm{n}+1)^{3}<281

n=4⇒(n+1)3=125\mathrm{n}=4 \Rightarrow(\mathrm{n}+1)^{3}=125

n=5⇒(n+1)3=216\mathrm{n}=5 \Rightarrow(\mathrm{n}+1)^{3}=216

n=6⇒(n+1)3=343\mathrm{n}=6 \Rightarrow(\mathrm{n}+1)^{3}=343

∴n=5\therefore \mathrm{n}=5
