Let $\lambda$ be the positive root of the equation $x^2-x-1=0$,and set $a_n = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\left(\lambda^n - (1-\lambda)^n\right)$ for $n \in N$,where $N$ is the set of all natural numbers. Consider the sets $A = \{ n \in N : a_n \text{ is a rational number, but not an integer} \}$ and $B = \{ n \in N : a_n \text{ is an irrational number} \}$. Then:

  • A
    both the sets $A$ and $B$ are empty
  • B
    the set $A$ is empty but the set $B$ is non-empty
  • C
    the set $A$ is non-empty and the set $B$ is empty
  • D
    both the sets $A$ and $B$ are non-empty

For non-negative integers $s$ and $r$,let $\binom{s}{r} = \begin{cases} \frac{s!}{r!(s-r)!} & \text{if } r \leq s \\ 0 & \text{if } r > s \end{cases}$. For positive integers $m$ and $n$,let $g(m, n) = \sum_{p=0}^{m+n} \frac{f(m, n, p)}{\binom{n+p}{p}}$,where for any non-negative integer $p$,$f(m, n, p) = \sum_{i=0}^{p} \binom{m}{i} \binom{n+i}{p} \binom{p+n}{p-i}$.
