The coefficient of `x^(7)` in the expansion of `(1-x-x^(2) + x^(3))^(6)` is :

A

132

B

144

C

-132

D

-144

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`(1-x-x^(2)+x^(3))^(6)`
` = (1-x)^(6)(1-x^(2))^(6)`
`= (1-.^(6)C_(1)x+.^(6)C_(2)x-.^(6)C_(3)x^(3)+.^(6)C_(4)x^(4)-.^(6)C_(5)x^(5)+.^(6)C_(6)x^(6))(1-.^(6)C_(1)x^(2)+.^(6)C_(2)x^(4)-.^(6)C_(3)x^(6)+"…..")`
`rArr ` coefficient of `x^7)` is `.^(6)C_(1)..^(6)C_(3)-.^(6)C_(3)+.^(6)C_(5)..^(6)C_(1)`
`= 6 xx 20 - 20 xx 15 + 6 xx 6 = -144`
