    In the expansion of\[{{(1+3x+2{{x}^{2}})}^{6}}\]the coefficient of \[{{x}^{11}}\] is:

    A)  144                                       

    B)  288

    C)  216                       

    D)         576

    E)  \[({{2}^{11}})(3)\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    General term in the expansion of \[{{(1+3x+2{{x}^{2}})}^{6}}=\frac{6!}{{{r}_{1}}!{{r}_{2}}!{{r}_{3}}!}{{(1)}^{{{r}_{1}}}}\]                                                 \[{{(3x)}^{{{r}_{2}}}}{{(2{{x}^{2}})}^{{{r}_{3}}}}\] where      \[{{r}_{1}}+{{r}_{2}}+{{r}_{3}}=6\]                                    ... (i) For coefficient of\[{{x}^{11}},\]we have \[{{r}_{2}}+2{{r}_{3}}=11\]                                         ...(ii) Now from Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get\[{{r}_{1}}={{r}_{3}}-5\] For\[{{r}_{3}}=5,{{r}_{1}}=0\]and\[{{r}_{2}}=1\] \[\therefore \]Coefficient of \[{{x}^{11}}=\frac{6!}{0!1!5!}{{(1)}^{0}}{{(3)}^{1}}{{(2)}^{5}}\] \[=6\times 3\times {{2}^{5}}=18\times 32=576\]
