Just write the equation down as given and solve for n. So the coefficients are given by nCr ...

Note it helps to describe in the OP what youve tried/what problem youre having.

Can I have your solution how you calculate

Yes sure, we will have to do this repeatedly. I just put the values in the formula (1+ nx + n(n-1)/2!) you may try using this you will get 1001x power 4 and 2002x power 5.
If you still have a doubt you can let me know.
