Solution

The correct option is C 536
Consider CaseILet x4=0
x1+x2+x3=20

we have to distribute 20 identical objects into 3 groups.

Number of solutions =20+31C31=22C2

Consider CaseIILet x4=1

x1+x2+x3=204=16

we have to distribute 16 identical objects into 3 groups.

Number of solutions =16+31C31=18C2

Consider CaseIIILet x4=2

x1+x2+x3=208=12

we have to distribute 12 identical objects into 3 groups.

Number of solutions =12+31C31=14C2

Consider CaseIVLet x4=3

x1+x2+x3=2012=8

we have to distribute 8 identical objects into 3 groups.

Number of solutions =8+31C31=10C2

Consider CaseVLet x4=4

x1+x2+x3=2016=4

we have to distribute 4 identical objects into 3 groups.

Number of solutions =4+31C31=6C2

Consider CaseVILet x4=5

x1+x2+x3=2020

we have to distribute 0 identical objects into 3 groups.

Number of solutions =0+31C31=2C2=1

Hence total number of solutions=1+6C2+10C2+14C2+18C2+22C2

=1+6!4!2!+10!8!2!+14!12!2!+18!16!2!+22!20!2!

=1+6×52+10×92+14×132+18×172+22×212

=1+3×5+5×9+7×13+9×17+11×21

=1+15+45+91+153+231=536
