7.Binomial Theorem
hard

The coefficient of ${t^{24}}$ in the expansion of ${(1 + {t^2})^{12}}(1 + {t^{12}})\,(1 + {t^{24}})$ is

A

$^{12}{C_6} + 2$

B

$^{12}{C_5}$

C

$^{12}{C_6}$

D

$^{12}{C_7}$

(IIT-2003)

Solution

(a) ${(1 + {t^2})^{12}}(1 + {t^{12}})(1 + {t^{24}})$ = $(1 + {}^{12}{C_1}{t^2} + {}^{12}{C_2}{t^4} + …{ + ^{12}}{C_4}{t^8} + …{ + ^{12}}{C_{10}}{t^{20}} + ….)$ 

$(1 + {t^{12}} + {t^{24}} + {t^{36}})$  

$\therefore$ Coefficient of ${t^{24}}{ = ^{12}}{C_6} + 2.$
