Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \({ }^{60} C_{40}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given expression is \((1 + 3x + 3x^2 + x^3)^{20}\). Observe that \(1 + 3x + 3x^2 + x^3 = (1 + x)^3\). Substituting this into the expression, we get \(((1 + x)^3)^{20} = (1 + x)^{60}\). The general term in the binomial expansion of \((1 + x)^{60}\) is given by…
