Solution

We will first simplify the terms in the bracket so that we can apply binomial expansion.
We know $(a^{3} + b^{3} + 3 a b (a + b))$ = $(a + b)^{3}$ . Therefore, we can
write $(a^{3} + b^{3} + 3 a b (a + b))^{50}$ as $((a + b)^{3})^{50}$ .

It is equal to $(a + b)^{150}$ . There will be a total of (n+1) terms in the expansion of $(a + b)^{n}$ . Therefore the total number terms in the expansion of $(a + b)^{150}$ is 151
