Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\left(1-x+x^2\right)^{2 n}=a_0+a_1 x+a_2 x^2+\ldots+a_{2 n} x^{4 n}\) put \(x=1\), we get \[ 1^{2 \mathrm{n}}=1=\mathrm{a}_0+\mathrm{a}_1+\mathrm{a}_2+\ldots+\mathrm{a}_{2 \mathrm{n}}.....(i) \] Put \(x=-1\), we get \[ 3^{2 n}=a_0-a_1+a_2-\ldots+a_{2 n}.....(ii) \] Adding…
