**Question:**  
Which is the correct expansion of \((x + 4y)^3\) using the binomial theorem?

1. \((x + 4y)^3 = \binom{3}{0} (x)^3 (4y)^0 + \binom{3}{1} (x)^2 (4y)^1 + \binom{3}{2} (x)^1 (4y)^2 + \binom{3}{3} (x)^0 (4y)^3\)

2. \((x + 4y)^3 = (4y)^0 + (x)^2 (4y)^1 + (x)^1 (4y)^2 + (x)^0 (4y)^3\)

3. \((x + 4y)^3 = \binom{3}{0} (4y)^3 (x)^0 + \binom{3}{1} (4y)^2 (x)^1 + \binom{3}{2} (4y)^1 (x)^2 + \binom{3}{3} (4y)^0 (x)^3\)

4. \((x + 4y)^3 = (x)^0 (4y)^1 + (x)^1 (4y)^1 + (x)^2 (4y)^2 + (x)^3 (4y)^3\)

**Explanation:**

The binomial theorem states that \((a + b)^n = \sum_{k=0}^n \binom{n}{k} a^{n-k} b^k\). Based on this theorem, the correct expansion of \((x + 4y)^3\) involves calculating the binomial coefficients, \(\binom{3}{k}\), and multiplying these by the terms raised to the powers as indicated in option 1. Here, the powers of \(x\) start from 3 and decrease to 0, while the powers of \(4y\) start from 0 and increase to 3.
