The correct answer is: 51
$(x+a)^{100}+(x-a)^{100}$
Simple logic is we get ${ }^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{c}_{0},{ }^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{c}_{2},{ }^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{c}_{4} \ldots{ }^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{C}_{100}$ in this
expansion.
The number of terms from ${ }^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{c}_{0}$ to ${ }^{\mathrm{n}} \mathrm{c}_{100}$ are 51
