    The coefficient of \[{{x}^{4}}\] in the expansion of\[{{(1+x+{{x}^{2}}+{{x}^{3}})}^{11}}\], is

    A) \[990\]                                 

    B) \[605\]

    C) \[810\]                                 

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    We have,\[{{(1+x+{{x}^{2}}+{{x}^{3}})}^{11}}\]                 \[={{\{(1+x)(1+{{x}^{2}})\}}^{11}}\]                 \[={{(1+x)}^{11}}{{(1+{{x}^{2}})}^{11}}\] \[=(1{{+}^{11}}{{C}_{1}}x{{+}^{11}}{{C}_{2}}{{x}^{2}}{{+}^{11}}{{C}_{3}}{{x}^{3}}{{+}^{11}}{{C}_{4}}{{x}^{4}}+...)\] \[(1{{+}^{11}}{{C}_{3}}{{x}^{2}}{{+}^{11}}{{C}_{2}}{{x}^{4}}{{+}^{11}}{{C}_{3}}{{x}^{6}}+...)\] Coefficient of\[{{x}^{4}}{{=}^{11}}{{C}_{2}}{{+}^{11}}{{C}_{4}}{{+}^{11}}{{C}_{1}}^{11}{{C}_{2}}\]                 \[=55+330+605=990\]
