Detailed Solution

We know, 

General term in (x+a)n given by

Tr+1=C(n,r)xnrar

 General term in x21x10

Tr+1=C(10,r)x210r1xrTr+1=(1)rC(10,r)x202rxr

The word with a coefficient of x8 must now be found.

 202rr=8 r=4

So, T5 will have coefficient  x8

T5=(1)4C(10,4)x8T5=109874321x8T5=210x8

So, the coefficient of   x8 in the given expansion will be 210.
