    The coefficient of \[{{x}^{n}}\]in expansion of \[(1+x)\,{{(1-x)}^{n}}\] is  [AIEEE 2004]

    A) \[{{(-1)}^{n-1}}n\]

    B) \[{{(-1)}^{n}}(1-n)\]

    C) \[{{(-1)}^{n-1}}{{(n-1)}^{2}}\]

    D) \[(n-1)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Coefficient of \[{{x}^{n}}\] in expansion of \[(1+x)\] \[{{(1-x)}^{n}}\] ie., coefficient of \[{{x}^{n}}\] in expansion of \[{{(1-x)}^{n}}+\] coefficient of \[{{x}^{n-1}}\] in expansion of \[{{(1-x)}^{n}}\] Now, \[{{(-1)}^{n}}{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{n}}+{{(-1)}^{n-1}}\,{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{n-1}}\] \[{{(-1)}^{n}}\,{{[}^{n}}{{C}_{n}}-{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{n-1}}]\] = \[{{(-1)}^{n}}\,[1-n]\].
