(IIT-2014)

Solution

Coefficent of $x^{11} \equiv \frac{\left(1+x^2\right)^4\left(1+x^3\right)^7\left(1+x^4\right)^{12}\left(1-x^2\right)^4}{\left(1-x^2\right)^4}$

Coefficent of $x^{11} \equiv\left(1-x^8\right)^4\left(1+x^4\right)^8\left(1+x^3\right)^7\left(1-x^2\right)^{-4}$

$=\left(1-4 x^8\right)\left(1+x^4\right)^8\left(7 x^3+35 x^9\right)\left(1-x^2\right)^{-4} $

$=\left(7 x^3+35 x^9-28 x^{11}\right)\left(1+x^4\right)^8\left(1-x^2\right)^{-4}$

Coefficent of $x^8=\left(7 x+35 x^6-28 x^8\right)\left(1+8 x^4+28 x^8\right)\left(1-x^2\right)^{-4}$

$=\left(7+35 x^6-28 x^3+56 x^4+196 x^8\right)\left(1-x^2\right)^{-4}$

Coefficent of $t ^4 \equiv\left(7+56 t ^2+35 t ^3+168 t ^4\right)(1- t )^{-4}$

$=7 \cdot{ }^7 C _3+56 \cdot{ }^5 C _3+35 \cdot{ }^4 C _3+168 $

$=245+700+168=1113 .$

$Alterantive :$
