7. (1) Let the given series be S . Then, we get,

S = (1 + x)500 + x(1 + x)499 + x2 (1 + x)498 + … + x500
x(1+x)499 x
The given series is clearly a geometric progression with a common ratio (1+x)500
which is equal to 1+x
where the
number of terms is 501.
So, the given series is
⎡1−( x ) ⎤

S = (1 + x) ⎢ ⎥

S = (1 + x)501 − x501
Hence, the coefficient of x301 in S is 501 C301 .
