    Two middle terms in the expansion of \[{{\left( x-\frac{1}{x} \right)}^{11}}\] are

    A) 231x and \[\frac{231}{x}\]

    B) \[462x\] and \[\frac{462}{x}\]

    C) \[-462x\] and \[\frac{462}{x}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Middle term of \[{{\left( x-\frac{1}{x} \right)}^{11}}\]is \[{{T}_{6}}={{\,}^{11}}{{C}_{5}}{{(x)}^{6}}{{\left( -\frac{1}{x} \right)}^{5}}=-462\,x\]  and \[{{T}_{7}}={{\,}^{11}}{{C}_{6}}{{(x)}^{5}}{{\left( -\frac{1}{x} \right)}^{6}}=\frac{462}{x}\]
