The correct answer is: 729ab=32

The coefficient of x7 in ax2+12bx11 and ax-13bx211 are equal, then

Tr+1=11Crax211-r12bxr

=11Cra11-r12brx22-3r

Now solving 22-3r=7r=5

Coefficient of x-7 in ax-13bx211

Tr+1=11Crax11-r-13bx2r

=11Cra11-r-13brx11-3r

Now solving 11-3r=-7r=6

Now equating coefficient of x7 and x-7 we get,

 11C5a612b5=11C6 a5-13b6

36ab=32

729ab=32

Hence this is the correct option.
