    \[{{(r+1)}^{th}}\] term in the expansion of \[{{(1-x)}^{-4}}\]will be

    A) \[\frac{{{x}^{r}}}{r!}\]

    B) \[\frac{(r+1)(r+2)(r+3)}{6}{{x}^{r}}\]

    C) \[\frac{(r+2)(r+3)}{2}{{x}^{r}}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[{{(1-x)}^{-4}}\]\[=\left[ \frac{1.2.3}{6}{{x}^{0}}+\frac{2.3.4}{6}x+\frac{3.4.5}{6}{{x}^{2}}+\frac{4.5.6}{6}{{x}^{3}}+... \right.\]\[\left. +\frac{(r+1)(r+2)(r+3)}{6}{{x}^{r}}+.... \right]\] Therefore\[{{T}_{r+1}}=\frac{(r+1)(r+2)(r+3)}{6}{{x}^{r}}\].
