Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 11

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

By using binomial expansion \((x+y)^{20}={ }^{20} C_0 x^{20}+{ }^{20} C_1 x^{19} y+{ }^{20} C_2 x^{18} y^2+\ldots{ }^{20} C_{20} y^{20}\)...(i) and \((x-y)^{20}={ }^{20} C_0 x^{20}-{ }^{20} C_1 x^{19} y+{ }^{20} C_2 x^{18} y^2 -\ldots+{ }^{20} C_{20} y^{20}\)...(ii) Add both the…
