The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is A:9
\(1!+2!+3!+4!+......+11!\)
\(=(1!+2!+3!)+(4!+5!+.....+11!)\)
\(=(1+2+6)+(4!+5!+......+11!)\)
\(=9+(4!+6!+.....+11!)\)
\(4!,5!........11!\) are divisible by 12
So when you will divide given expression by 12 the remainder will be 9.

Binomial Theorem

The binomial theorem formula is used in the expansion of any power of a binomial in the form of a series. The binomial theorem formula is 

Properties of Binomial Theorem

  • The number of coefficients in the binomial expansion of (x + y)n is equal to (n + 1).
  • There are (n+1) terms in the expansion of (x+y)n.
  • The first and the last terms are xn and yn respectively.
  • From the beginning of the expansion, the powers of x, decrease from n up to 0, and the powers of a, increase from 0 up to n.
  • The binomial coefficients in the expansion are arranged in an array, which is called Pascal's triangle. This pattern developed is summed up by the binomial theorem formula.
