Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 51

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(f(x)=(x+y)^{100}+(x-y)^{100}\)
Here, \(\mathrm{n}=100\), which is even.
\(\therefore\) Total number of terms
\[
\begin{aligned}
&=\frac{\mathrm{n}+2}{2}=\frac{100+2}{2} \\
&=51
\end{aligned}
\]
