Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 19. (c)

Solution:

  1. Coefficient of xr in (1+x)n is nCr.

In this type of questions, we find different composition of terms where product will give us x11.

Now, consider the following cases for x11 in

(1+x2)4(1+x3)7(1+x4)12.

Coefficient of x0x3x8; Coefficient of x2x9x0

Coefficient of x4x3x4; Coefficient of x8x3x0

=4C0×7C1×12C2+4C1×7C3×12C0+4C2×7C1 ×12C1+4C4×7C1×12C0

=462+140+504+7=1113
