The coefficient of x²⁰ in the expansion of (1+3 x+3 x^2+x^3 )²⁰ is
Options
- A60 40
- B30 20
- C¹⁵ C ₂
- DNone of these
Correct answer
A. 60 40
Step-by-step solution
Given expansion is (1+3 x+3 x^2+x^3 )²⁰ aligned & = ((1+x)^3 )²⁰ & =(1+x)⁶⁰ aligned In the expansion of (a+b)^n,(r+1) th term is given by t_ r+1 = ^n C_r a^r b^ n-r or t_ r+1 = ^n C_r a^ n-r b^r 21 st term in Eq. (i) will contain the coefficient of x²⁰ and it is given by t₂₁= 60 20 x²⁰, 1⁴⁰= 60 20 x²⁰ Coefficient of x²⁰ in (1+x)⁶⁰ is 60 20 or 60 40 .
