    The coefficient of \[{{x}^{4}}\] in the expansion of \[{{(1+x+{{x}^{2}}+{{x}^{3}})}^{n}},\] is:

    A) \[{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{4}}\]                                   

    B)  \[{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{4}}+{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{4}}+{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{4}}+{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}\]    

    D)  \[{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{4}}+{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}^{n}{{C}_{1}}+{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{(1+x+{{x}^{2}}+{{x}^{3}})}^{n}}\] \[={{[(1+x)+{{x}^{2}}(1+x)]}^{n}}\] \[={{(1+x)}^{n}}{{(1+{{x}^{2}})}^{n}}\] \[=(1+{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{1}}x{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}{{x}^{2}}{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{3}}{{x}^{3}}{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{4}}{{x}^{4}}+...)\] \[\times \,(1{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{1}}{{x}^{2}}{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}{{x}^{4}}+...)\]                 \[\therefore \]Coefficient of \[{{x}^{4}}\]                                 \[={{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{1}}^{n}{{C}_{2}}{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{4}}\]
