Options
- A84
- B- 84
- C- 126
- D126
Correct answer
A. 84
Step-by-step solution
1 + x 1 - x 10 1 + x + x 2 9 = 1 + x 1 - x 1 - x 9 1 + x + x 2 9 = 1 - x 2 1 - x 1 + x + x 2 9 = 1 - x 2 1 - x 3 9 So, Coefficient of x 18 in 1 + x 1 - x 10 1 + x + x 2 9 = Coefficient of x 18 in 1 - x 2 1 - x 3 9 =   Coefficient of x 18 in 1 - x 2 C 0   9 + C 1   9 - x 3 + C 2 - x 3 2 + …   9 = C 6   9 - 1 6 = C 3   9 = 9.8 . 7 1.2 . 3 = 84
