Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(31\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \left(1+x-2 x^2\right)^6=1+a_1 x+a_2 x^2+\ldots+a_{12} x^{12} \\ & x=1 \Rightarrow 0=1+a_1+a_2+\ldots+a_{12} \\ & x=-1 \Rightarrow 64=1-a_1+a_2+\ldots+a_{12} \\ & \text { Adding } 64=2\left(1+a_2+a_4+\ldots+a_{12}\right) \\ &…
