    The coefficient of \[{{x}^{n}}\] in the expansion of \[\frac{{{e}^{7x}}+{{e}^{x}}}{{{e}^{3x}}}\] is    [MP PET 1999]

    A) \[\frac{{{4}^{n-1}}+{{(-2)}^{n}}}{n\,!}\]

    B) \[\frac{{{4}^{n-1}}+{{2}^{n}}}{n\,!}\]

    C) \[\frac{{{4}^{n-1}}+{{(-2)}^{n-1}}}{n\,!}\]

    D) \[\frac{{{4}^{n}}+{{(-2)}^{n}}}{n\,!}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

      We have \[\frac{{{e}^{7x}}+{{e}^{x}}}{{{e}^{3x}}}={{e}^{4x}}+{{e}^{-2x}}=\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty }{\frac{{{(4x)}^{n}}}{n!}+\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty }{\frac{{{(-2x)}^{n}}}{n!}}}\] \[\therefore \] Coefficient of  \[{{x}^{n}}\]in \[\left( \frac{{{e}^{7x}}+{{e}^{x}}}{{{e}^{3x}}} \right)=\frac{{{4}^{n}}+{{(-2)}^{n}}}{n!}\].
