Answer:

\(6 C 2 \times\left[2\left(x^{2}\right)\right]^{4} \times\left[\frac{a}{(x)}\right]^{2}, 6 C 3 \times\left[2\left(x^{2}\right)\right]^{3} \times\left[\frac{a}{(x)}\right]^{3}\)
\(15 \times 2^{4} \times a^{2}=20 \times 2^{3} \times a^{3}\)
\(a=\frac{15 \times 2^{4}}{20 \times 2^{3}}=\frac{3}{2}\)
