    The coefficient of \[{{x}^{32}}\]in the expansion of\[{{\left( {{x}^{4}}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}} \right)}^{15}}\]is:

    A)  \[^{-15}{{C}_{3}}\]                         

    B)  \[^{15}{{C}_{4}}\]

    C)  \[^{-15}{{C}_{5}}\]                         

    D)  \[^{15}{{C}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In \[{{\left( {{x}^{4}}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}} \right)}^{15}}\] \[{{T}_{r+1}}={{\,}^{15}}{{C}_{r}}{{({{x}^{4}})}^{15-r}}{{\left( -\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}} \right)}^{r}}\]                                 \[={{\,}^{15}}{{C}_{r}}{{x}^{60-4r}}\frac{{{(-1)}^{r}}}{{{x}^{3r}}}\]                                 \[={{\,}^{15}}{{C}_{r}}{{x}^{60-7r}}{{(-1)}^{r}}\] Now equating the power of \[x\] to 32, we get \[60-7r=32\] \[\therefore \]  \[7r=60-32\]                 \[7r=28\]                 \[r=4\] Now coefficient of \[{{x}^{32}}\] in \[{{\left( {{x}^{4}}-\frac{1}{{{x}^{3}}} \right)}^{15}}\]                 \[={{\,}^{15}}{{C}_{4}}\,{{(-1)}^{4}}{{=}^{15}}{{C}_{4}}\]
