    If\[|x|<1,\]then the coefficient of\[{{x}^{6}}\]in the expansion of\[{{(1+x+{{x}^{2}})}^{-3}}\]is

    A)  3                                            

    B)  6

    C)  9                            

    D)         12

    E)  15

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[{{(1+x+{{x}^{2}})}^{-3}}={{\left[ \frac{1}{(1+x+{{x}^{2}})} \right]}^{3}}\] \[={{\left[ \frac{1-x}{1-{{x}^{3}}} \right]}^{3}}\] \[={{(1-x)}^{3}}{{(1-{{x}^{3}})}^{-3}}\] \[=(1-{{x}^{3}}-3{{x}^{2}}+3x)(1+3{{x}^{3}}+6{{x}^{6}}+.....)\] \[\therefore \]Coefficient of\[{{x}^{6}}\]in\[{{(1+x+{{x}^{2}})}^{-3}}\] \[=6-3=3\]
