    The coefficient of \[{{x}^{83}}\] in \[{{(1+x+{{x}^{2}}+{{x}^{3}}+{{x}^{4}})}^{n}}\]\[{{(1-x)}^{n+3}},is-{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{2\lambda }}\], then find the value of \[\lambda \]

    A) 12

    B) 10

    C) 9

    D) 8

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] We have, \[{{\left( 1+x+{{x}^{2}}+{{x}^{3}}+{{x}^{4}} \right)}^{n}}{{(x-1)}^{n+3}}\]
    \[=\frac{{{({{x}^{5}}-1)}^{n}}}{{{(1-x)}^{n}}}.{{(x-1)}^{n+3}}={{({{x}^{5}}-1)}^{n}}{{(x-1)}^{3}}\]
    \[=\left( +{{x}^{3}}-3{{x}^{2}}+3x-1 \right)\sum\limits_{r=0}^{n}{^{n}{{C}_{r}}{{(-1)}^{r}}\,{{x}^{5r}}}\]
    \[=+\sum\limits_{r=0}^{n}{{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{r}}{{(-1)}^{r}}{{x}^{5r+3}}+3\sum\limits_{r=0}^{n}{{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{r}}{{(-1)}^{r}}\,{{x}^{5r+2}}}}\]
    \[-3\sum\limits_{r=0}^{n}{{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{r}}{{(-1)}^{r}}\,{{x}^{5r+1}}+3\sum\limits_{r=0}^{n}{{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{r}}}{{(-1)}^{r}}{{x}^{5r}}}\]
    For term containing \[{{x}^{83}},\] we have \[5r+3=83\]
    \[\Rightarrow r=16\] whereas \[5r+2=83,5r+1=83\] and \[5r=83\] give no integral value of r. hence, there is only one term containing \[{{x}^{83}}\] whose coefficient
    \[=-{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{16}}=-{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{2\lambda }}\,\,\,\,\,\therefore \,\,2\lambda =16\Rightarrow \lambda =8\]
