Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 200

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(1+(1+x)+\cdots+(1+x)^n = \frac{(1+x)^{n+1}-1}{x}\) Coeff. of \(x^{100}\) in \(\frac{(1+x)^{n+1}-1}{x}\) is coeff. of \(x^{101}\) in \((1+x)^{n+1}-1\). Coeff. of \(x^{101}\) in \((1+x)^{n+1}\) is \({^{n+1}C_{101}}\). \({^{n+1}C_{101}} = {^{201}C_{101}}\) \(n+1 = 201\)…
