The correct answer is: 4

Given,

Binomial expression,

2log210-3x+2(x-2)log235m

10-3x+3(x-2)5m

Now, T6=C5m10-3xm-52·3x-2=21         1

Also given,

C1m,C2m,C3m are in A.P.

So, 2·C2m=C1m+C3m

2×m!2!m-2!=m+m!3!m-3!

Solving for m, we get m=2 , 7 and m=2 (rejected), so  m=7

Put in equation 1

21·10-3x3x9=21

10-3x3x=9×1

3x=30,32

x=0, 2

Sum of the squares of all possible values of x=4.
