Dear nishant

given question is a product of 16 brackets

and you can find  x15 only when x from 15 bracket is multiplied and constant term from 1 bracket.

so just multiply  

coefficient of x15 is  =-2 1+2+3.....+15   -2 0+2+3+.....15  ..................-2 0+1+2+3...+14

                                  =-21+2+3.....+15 [1 +1/2 +1/22 +........1/215]

                             =-2120[2-1/215]

                              =-2121 +2105
