Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 51

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The binomial expansion of \((x+y)^{n}\) is given by \(\sum_{k=0}^{n} {^{n}C_{k}} x^{n-k} y^{k}\). Expanding the two terms: \((x+y)^{100} = {^{100}C_{0}} x^{100} + {^{100}C_{1}} x^{99} y + {^{100}C_{2}} x^{98} y^{2} + \dots + {^{100}C_{100}} y^{100}\)…
