\\\text{Coefficient of x}^{11} \mathrm{in}\\ \: \: \: \: \: \\\: \: \: \: \: \left(x^1+x^2+x^3+x^4+x^5+x^6\right)^3\\ \\\text{Coefficient of x}^{11}\text{in}\\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\\text{x}^3\left(1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4+x^5\right)^3

Or Coefficient of x^{11} in 

                  x^3\left(1-x^6\right)^3(1-x)^{-3}

Or Coefficient of x^{8} in 

                   \begin{aligned} \left(1-3 x^6\right)(1 & \left.+{ }^3 C_1 x+{ }^4 C_2 x^2+\ldots\right) \\ \\& ={ }^{10} C_8-3 \cdot{ }^4 C_2 \\ \\& ={ }^{10} C_2-3 \cdot{ }^4 C_2 \\ \\& =45-18 \\ \\& =27 \end{aligned}
