Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 21

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The general term in the expansion of \(\left(\dfrac{1}{x^3} - x^4\right)^n\) is given by: \(T_{r+1} = ^{n}C_{r} \left(x^{-3}\right)^{n-r} \left(-x^4\right)^r = (-1)^r \cdot ^{n}C_{r} \cdot x^{7r - 3n}\) For the coefficient of \(x^7\), we set the exponent to \(7\):…
