The correct answer is: 21

In the expansion of 1+3x2-5, the coefficient of x10 is equal to the coefficient of x10 in 1+axn.

General term of expansion

=-5-5-1-5-2......-5-10+110!×3x210

=-5-6-7......-1410!×310210x10  ......i

Coefficient of x10 in 1+axn

T10+1=C10 ax10n  ......ii

Equation i&ii both are equal

-5-6-7......-1410!×310210x10=C10 ax10n

n=7, a=3

Hence, the value of na=21.
