Given expression:

( a b ( c + d ) + c d ( a + b ) ) 10 \bigg(ab(c+d)+cd(a+b)\bigg)^{10}

= ( a b c + a b d + c d a + c d b ) 10 =\bigg(abc+abd+cda+cdb\bigg)^{10}

= ( a b c d ) 10 ( 1 a + 1 b + 1 c + 1 d ) 10 =\bigg(abcd\bigg)^{10}\bigg(\frac1a+\frac1b+\frac1c+\frac1d\bigg)^{10}

The co-efficient of a 8 b 4 c 9 d 9 a^8b^4c^9d^9 in the expansion of the expression above would same as the co-efficient of 1 a 2 1 b 6 1 c 1 d \dfrac{1}{a^2}\dfrac{1}{b^6}\dfrac{1}{c}\dfrac{1}{d} in ( 1 a + 1 b + 1 c + 1 d ) 10 \bigg(\frac1a+\frac1b+\frac1c+\frac1d\bigg)^{10} which is equal to 10 ! 2 ! 6 ! 1 ! 1 ! = 2520 \dfrac{10!}{2!\cdot6!\cdot1!\cdot1!} = \boxed{2520} .
