Options
- A5 4
- B7 4
- C9 4
- DNone of these
Correct answer
D. None of these
Step-by-step solution
Given, expansion is [ ( x 3 ) + ( 3 2 x² ) ]¹⁰ Let t_ r+1 be general term, then aligned t_ r+1 &= 10 r ( x 3 )^ 10-r ( 3 2 x² )^ r &= 10 r x 10-r 2 10-r 2 3^ i / 2 2^ r / 2 x^ r = 10 r x- r 2 -r 3^ r-5 2^ r / 2 aligned For the term independent of x . Puts 5- r 2 -r=0 5- 3 2 r=0 3 2 r=5 r= 10 3 Fractional value of r is not possible. So, no term is independent of x .
