Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 11

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In the expansion of \((1+x)^{15}\) the coefficient of \[ x^{10}={ }^{15} C_{10} \text {. } \] And the expansion of \[ (1-x)^{-n}=1+n x+\frac{n(n+1)}{2 !} x^2+\frac{n(n+1)(n+2) x^3}{3 !}+\ldots \] So, coefficient of \(x^5=\frac{n(n+1)(n+2)(n+3)(n+4)}{5 !}\) According to the…
