find the number of terms free from radical sign in the expansion of { 1+3^1/3+7^1/7}^10

Dear student,
as we know that general term of a1+a2+a3+.........+akn is n!r1! r2! r3!......rk!a1r1a2r2a3r3.......akrk
now general term of 1+313+71710 will be 10!a!.b!.c!1a313b717c
now term will be free from radical sign if 
b is a multiple of 3
and c is a multiple of 7 and we need a+b+c=10
so possible combination are 
abc1000730460307037
clearly there are total 5 terms free from radical sign

enjoy
