Options
- A1051
- B1106
- C1113
- D1120
Correct answer
C. 1113
Step-by-step solution
2 x 1 + 3 x 2 + 4 x 3 = 11 Possibilities are 0 , 1 , 2 ; 1 , 3 , 0 ; 2 , 1 , 1 ; 4 , 1 , 0 ∴ Required coefficients = 4 C 0 × 7 C 1 × 12 C 2 + 4 C 1 × 7 C 3 × 12 C 0 + 4 C 2 × 7 C 1 × 12 C 1 + ( 4 C 4 × 7 C 1 × 1 ) = 1 × 7 × 66 + 4 × 35 × 1 + 6 × 7 × 12 + 1 × 7 = 462 + 140 + 504 + 7 = 1113
