    The term independent of x in the expansion of \[\left( \frac{2\sqrt{x}}{x}-\frac{1}{2x\sqrt{x}} \right)\] is

    A)  5th term     

    B)  6th term

    C)  11 th term    

    D)  no term

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given expansion is \[{{\left( \frac{2\sqrt{x}}{5}-\frac{1}{2x\sqrt{x}} \right)}^{11}}\] General term \[{{T}_{r+1}}={{(-1)}^{r}}{{\,}^{11}}{{C}_{r}}{{\left( \frac{2\sqrt{x}}{5} \right)}^{11-r}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2{{x}^{3/2}}} \right)}^{r}}\] \[=\frac{{{2}^{11-2r}}}{{{5}^{11-r}}}{{(-1)}^{r}}\,{{\,}^{11}}{{C}_{r}}\,{{x}^{\frac{11-r}{2}-\frac{3r}{2}}}\] For term independent of x put \[\frac{11-r}{2}-\frac{3r}{2}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{11-4r}{2}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[r=\frac{11}{4}\in N\] \[\therefore \]   There is no term which is independent of x.
