Answer:- 512


Explanation:-

We know that
(m+1)^(th),\ (T_(m+1)) in the binomial expansion
(p+q)^n is given by


T_(m+1)=^nC_m\ p^(n-m)q^m

Assume that
x^9y occurs in the
(m+1)^(th) term of the expansion of
(2y+4x^3)^4=(4x^3+2y)^4


T_(m+1)=^4C_m\ (4x^3)^(4-m)(2y)^m

Comparing power of x and y in
x^9y we get m=1

Thus term for m=1
=\ ^4C_1\ (4x^3)^(3)(2y)^1=^4C_1=(4!)/((4-1)!1!)(64x^9)(2y)=4(128x^9y)=512x^9y

Thus the coefficient of
x^9y is 512.
