Solution

The correct option is D 511
(1+x2x2)10=1+a1(x)+a2x2...a20x20
Substituting, x=1 we get
0=1+a1+a2+a3...a20 ...(i)
Substituting x=1, we get
(2)10=1a1+a2a3...+a20 ...(ii)
Adding i and ii we get
210=2(1+a2+a4+a6+...a20)
29=1+a2+a4+a6+...a20
291=a2+a4+a6+...a20
Hence
a2+a4+a6+...a20
=291
=5121
=511
