Solution

We have,

(1+x+2x2)20=a0+a1x+a2x2+a3x3+.........+a40x40

Let, put qx=1 and we get,

(1+1+2(1)2)20=a0+a1+a2+a3+........+a40

420=a0+a1+a2+a3+........+a40......(1)

Again, put

x=1 and we get,

(11+2(1)2)20=a0a1+a2a3+........+a40

220=a0a1+a2a3+........+a40......(2)

On subtracting equation (1) and (2) to, we get,

420220=2(a1+a3+a5+.......+a39)

(a1+a3+a5+.......+a39)=4202202

(a1+a3+a5+.......+a39)=220(2201)2

(a1+a3+a5+.......+a39)=219(2201)

Hence, this is the answer.
