Let a=31/124+1a = 3^{1/124} + 1 and for all n≥3n \ge 3, let f(n)=nC0an−1−nC1an−2+nC2an−3+⋯+(−1)n−1nCn−1⋅a0.\text{let } f(n) = {}^n C_0 a^{n-1} - {}^n C_1 a^{n-2} + {}^n C_2 a^{n-3} + \dots + (-1)^{n-1} {}^n C_{n-1} \cdot a^0. If the value of f(2016)+f(2017)=3Kf(2016) + f(2017) = 3^K, the value of KK is a. 6 b. 8 c. 9 d. 10
