Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(476\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

General term: \( \frac{8!}{p!q!r!} (x^2)^q (-x^3)^r \) where \( p+q+r=8 \) and \( 2q+3r=10 \). If \( r=0: 2q=10 \implies q=5 \). Then \( p=8-5-0=3 \). Coeff: \( \frac{8!}{3!5!0!} = \frac{8 \cdot 7 \cdot 6}{3 \cdot 2 \cdot 1} = 56 \). If \( r=2: 2q=4 \implies q=2 \). Then…
