(A) The given expansion is $\left[ a^{1/13} + a \cdot (a^{-1})^{-1/2} ight]^n = \left[ a^{1/13} + a \cdot a^{1/2} ight]^n = \left[ a^{1/13} + a^{3/2} ight]^n$.The general term $T_{r+1}$ is given by $^nC_r (a^{1/13})^{n-r} (a^{3/2})^r$.The second term $(r=1)$ is $T_2 = ^nC_1 (a^{1/13})^{n-1} (a^{3/2})^1 = n \cdot a^{\frac{n-1}{13}} \cdot a^{3/2} = n \cdot a^{\frac{n-1}{13} + \frac{3}{2}}$.Given $T_2 = 14a^{5/2}$,we have $n \cdot a^{\frac{n-1}{13} + \frac{3}{2}} = 14a^{5/2}$.Comparing the coefficients,$n = 14$.Checking the exponent: $\frac{14-1}{13} + \frac{3}{2} = 1 + 1.5 = 2.5 = 5/2$,which matches.Now,calculate $\frac{^nC_3}{^nC_2} = \frac{^{14}C_3}{^{14}C_2} = \frac{\frac{14 	imes 13 	imes 12}{3 	imes 2 	imes 1}}{\frac{14 	imes 13}{2 	imes 1}} = \frac{12}{3} = 4$.

If the second term of the expansion $\left[ a^{\frac{1}{13}} + \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^{-1}}} \right]^n$ is $14a^{5/2}$,then the value of $\frac{^nC_3}{^nC_2}$ is:
