Detailed Solution

Given:
The expression 1+2x1-x-x2

To expand the given expression in ascending powers of x as far as x3 assume that

1+2x1-x-x2=a0+a1x+a2x2+a3x3+........1+2x=1-x-x2a0+a1x+a2x2+a3x3+........ =a0+a1x+a2x2+a3x2+....-a0x+a1x2+a2x3+....-a0x2+a1x3+...

Now, compare the coefficients of x with x ,  x2 with x2 and x3 with x3 for both sides of the equation.

So,

a0=1 and

a1-a0=2a1-1=2a1=3

The coefficients of higher power of x are in succession form and thus,

an-an-1-an-2=0

Let n=2, so

a2-a2-1-a2-2=0a2-a1-a0=0a2-3-1=0a2=4
 

Now, let n=3, so

a3-a3-1-a3-2=0a3-a2-a1=0a3-4-3=0a2=7

Therefore, the expansion of the expression 1+2x1-x-x2 in ascending powers of x as far as x3 will be   1+3x+4x2+7x3+.........

Hence, the correct answer is option A.
