Note that coeff of x^10 in Y= (30C0.x^0 – 30C1.x^1 + …. + 30C30.x^30)*(1+x+x^2+.......) will be the reqd sum.
Y= (1 – x)^30.(1/(1 – x)) (using BT and infinite GP sum)
or Y= (1 – x)^29
so, coeff of x^10 is 29C10.
Thus, sum= 29C10.
KINDLY APPROVE :))

We know that
 
(1+x)n = ⁿC₀x⁰ + ⁿC1x+ ⁿC2x2+ ⁿC3x3+.....................................+ ⁿCnxn
 
Putting x = -1 we get
 
(1-1)n = ⁿC₀(-1)⁰ + ⁿC1(-1)+ ⁿC2(-1)2+ⁿC3(-1)3+.........................+ ⁿCn(-1)n
 
(1-1)n = ⁿC₀ - ⁿC1+ ⁿC2 - ⁿC3+.....................................+(-1)n ⁿCn
 
Further on plugging n=30 we get
 
 
 30C₀ - 30C1+ 30C2 - 30C3+..................+(-1)30 x 30C30 =030
 
 
OR  30C₀ - 30C1 + 30C2  -  30C3+..................+ 30C30 = 0
 
Thus answer = 0
