        Find the coefficient of\[{{x}^{4}}\]in the expansion of

    A)  4                                            

    B)  8

    C)  12                                         

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    \[{{\left( \frac{1-x}{1+x} \right)}^{2}}={{(1-x)}^{2}}{{(1+x)}^{-2}}\] \[=(1-2x+{{x}^{2}})[1+(-2)x+\frac{(-2)(-2-1)}{2!}{{x}^{2}}\]                                 \[+\frac{(-2)(-2-1)(-2-2)}{3!}{{x}^{3}}+...]\] \[=(1-2x+{{x}^{2}})(1-2x+3{{x}^{2}}-4{{x}^{3}}+5{{x}^{4}}-...)\] \[\therefore \]Coefficient of\[{{x}^{4}}\]in the expansion of\[{{\left( \frac{1-x}{1+x} \right)}^{2}}\]                 \[=5+(-2)(-4)+(1)(3)\] \[=5+8+3=16\]
