The correct answer is: 12, 204

25x3+1-5x3-18+ 25x3+1+5x3-18

Rationalizing denominators of both the brackets,

=5x3+1+ 5x3-1  8+ 5x3+1 - 5x3-1  8

=28C0 5x3+18+8C25x3+165x3-12+8C45x3+145x3-14+8C65x3+125x3-16+8C85x3-18

=25x3-14+285x3+135x3-1+705x3+125x3-12+285x3+15x3-13+5x3+14

So, n=12 and 

m=254+140.53+70.54+140.53+54=160000=204
