a
229
b
228
c
259-229
d
258

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Let S= some of the last 30 coefficients in (1+x)59=59C30+59C31+…+59C59                                 (1)Using  nCr=nCn−r, we getS=59C29+59C28+…+59C0                               (2)Adding (1) and (2), we get2S=59C0+59C1+…+59C59=259⇒S=258
