    In the expansion of \[{{\left( \frac{1+x}{1-x} \right)}^{2}}\], the coefficient of \[{{x}^{n}}\] will be

    A) \[4n\]

    B) \[4n-3\]

    C) \[4n+1\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given term can be written as \[{{(1+x)}^{2}}{{(1-x)}^{-2}}\] \[=(1+2x+{{x}^{2}})[1+2x+3{{x}^{2}}+....+(n-1){{x}^{n-2}}\] \[={{x}^{n}}(n+1+2n+n-1)+....\] Therefore coefficient of \[{{x}^{n}}\] is 4n.
