The correct answer is: 384

We know that a+bn-a-bn=2C1nan-1b+C3nan-3b3+C5nan-5b5+...

Given (3+i)8-(3-i)8=α+iβ

2C1837i+C3835i3+C5833i5+C783i7=α+iβ

Using Crn=n!r!×n-r!, i4n=1, i4n+1=i, i4n+2=-1  and i4n+3=-i,

28!1!×7!273i+8!3!×5!93-i+8!5!×3!33i+8!7!×1!3-i=α+iβ

28×273i+56×93-i+56×33i+8×3-i=α+iβ

22163i-5043i+1683i-83i=α+iβ

-2563i=α+iβ

α=0, β=-2563.

Hence, α-32β=0-32×-2563=384.
