    The coefficient of\[{{x}^{4}}\]in the expansion of\[{{(1+x+{{x}^{2}}+{{x}^{3}})}^{n}}\]

    A) \[^{n}{{C}_{4}}\]

    B) \[^{n}{{C}_{4}}{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}\]

    C) \[^{n}{{C}_{4}}{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{4}}{{\cdot }^{n}}{{C}_{2}}\]

    D) \[^{n}{{C}_{4}}{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{1}}{{\cdot }^{n}}{{C}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{(1+x+{{x}^{2}}+{{x}^{3}})}^{n}}={{(1+x)}^{n}}{{(1+{{x}^{2}})}^{n}}\] \[=(1{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{1}}x{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}{{x}^{2}}+...{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{n}}{{x}^{n}})\] \[\times (1{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{1}}{{x}^{2}}{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}{{x}^{4}}+...{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{n}}{{x}^{2n}})\] \[\therefore \]The coefficient of\[{{x}^{4}}\] \[{{=}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}{{\cdot }^{n}}{{C}_{1}}{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{4}}\] \[{{=}^{n}}{{C}_{4}}{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{2}}{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{1}}{{\cdot }^{n}}{{C}_{1}}\]
