We can use multinomial theorem to solve this question ( 2 − x + 3 x 2 ) 6 = ∑ ( 6 ! / ( a ! × b ! × c ! ) ) × ( 2 a × ( − x ) b × ( 3 x 2 ) c ) Here a+b+c=6 .We want to get the coefficient of x 5 so b+2c=5; so we will have three possibilities
Hence there are three terms containing x 5 . The coefficients in each case will be
Similarly
respectively
So the sum of coefficients will be − 5 0 5 2 .

f ( x ) = { 2 − x ( 1 − 3 x ) } 6 . ∴ f ( 1 ) = 1 − 6 + 1 5 − 2 0 + 1 5 − 6 + 1 . ∴ ( A − B ) 6 = A 6 − 6 A 5 ∗ B + 1 5 A 4 ∗ B 2 − 2 0 ∗ A 3 ∗ B 3 + 1 5 ∗ A 2 ∗ B 4 − 6 ∗ A ∗ B 5 + B 6 N o t e r m u p t i l l { x ( 1 + 3 x ) } 2 w o u l d g i v e a n y x 5 t e r m . { x ( 1 + 3 x ) } 6 a l s o w o u l d n o t g i v e a n y x 5 t e r m . So there are only three terms and they add up to a - tive. So only A and C are applicable !!!
