Solution

The correct option is B 110551
Let the marks scored by the candidate in four papers be x1,x2,x3,x4 then ,
x1+x2+x3+x4=150( i.e 60% of 250 is 150) where
0x1, x2, x350 and 0x4100;
The number of solution of equation is same as the
coeff. of x150 in (1+x+x2+x50)3(1+x+x2++x100)
=coeff. of x150 in (1x511x)3(1x1011x)
=coeff. of x150 in (1x51)3(1x101)(1x)4
=coeff. of x150 in (13x51+3x102x153)(1x101)×(1+ 4C3x+ 5C3x2+ 6C3x3)
= 153C33× 102C3+3× 51C3 52C3
=110551
