The correct answer is: 152

1+x50=C0+C1x+C2x2+.....+C50x50=r=050Crxr
0x1+x50dx=r=0500xCrxrdx
1+x51-151=r=050Crxr+1r+1
and x+150=r=050Crx50-r
Multiplying these two equations, we get,
1+x51-151x+150=r=050Crxr+1r+1r=050Crx50-r
1+x101-1+x5051=C0x1+C1x22+C2x33+....+C50x5151C0x50+C1x49+C2x48+....+C50
Now, comparing the coefficient of x51,we get,

 151101C51-0=C021+C122+C223+...+C50251=r=050Cr2r+1
r=050Cr2r+1=151×101!51!50!=101!51!2=m!n!2
m+n=101+51=152
