As we learnt in

Binomial Theorem for Rational index -

\left ( 1+x \right )^{n}= 1+nx+\frac{n\left ( n-1 \right )x^{2}}{2!}+\frac{n\left ( n-1 \right )\left ( n-2 \right )x^{3}}{3!}+-----
 

- wherein

use ^{n}c_{r}= \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

n> 0

 

 (1+x)^{\frac{27}{5}}

If n={\frac{27}{5}}

n - 6 < 0 

We will get the factor of n - 6 in the seventh term.

Correct option is 4.
