The term independent of x in the expansion of 1 60 - x 8 81 . 2 x 2 - 3 x 2 6 is equal to
Options
- A- 72
- B36
- C- 108
- D- 36
Correct answer
D. - 36
Step-by-step solution
To find the coefficient of term independent of x in given expression, first let's find constant term and coefficient of x - 8 in the expansion of   2 x 2 - 3 x 2 6 T r + 1 =     6 C r   2 x 2 6 - r ×   - 3 x 2 r   T r + 1 =     6 C r   2 6 - r ×   - 3 r   ×     x 12 - 4 r For constant term:   r = 3 , hence constant term =   6 C 3   2 3 × - 3 3 × x 0 For coefficient of   x - 8   :   r = 5 , hen
