Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

  • Required number of ways = Coefficient of $ x^{16} $ in $ {{(x^{3}+x^{4}+x^{5}+….+x^{7})}^{4}} $ = Coefficient of $ x^{16} $ in $ x^{12} $ $ {{(1+x+x^{2}+….x^{4})}^{4}} $ = Coefficient of $ x^{16} $ in $ x^{12}{{(1-x^{5})}^{4}}{{(1-x)}^{-4}} $ = Coefficient of $ x^{4} $ in $ {{(1-x^{5})}^{4}}{{(1-x)}^{-4}} $ = Coefficient of $ x^{4} $ in $ (1-4x^{5}+…) $ $ [ 1+4x+….+\frac{(r+1)(r+2)(r+3)}{3!}x^{r} ] $ = $ \frac{(4+1)(4+2)(4+3)}{3!}=35 $ . Aliter: Remaining 4 rupees can be distributed in $ ^{4+4-1}{C _{4-1}} $ i.e., 35 ways.
