    The term independent of x in the expansion of \[{{\left( \sqrt{\frac{x}{3}}+\frac{3}{2{{x}^{2}}} \right)}^{10}}\] is

    A)  \[\frac{5}{4}\]

    B)  \[\frac{7}{4}\]

    C)  \[\frac{9}{4}\]

    D)  \[45\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    General term,  \[{{T}_{r+1}}{{=}^{10}}{{C}_{r}}{{\left( \sqrt{\frac{x}{3}} \right)}^{10-r}}.{{\left( \frac{3}{2{{x}^{2}}} \right)}^{r}}\] \[{{=}^{10}}{{C}_{r}}{{3}^{r-\frac{10-r}{2}}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{r}}.{{x}^{\frac{10-r}{2}-2r}}\] \[{{=}^{10}}{{C}_{r}}{{3}^{r-\frac{3r-10}{2}}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{r}}.{{x}^{\frac{10-5r}{2}}}\] For the term independent of x, put \[\frac{10-5r}{2}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[5r=10\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[r=2\] \[\therefore \]   The term independent  of x, \[{{T}_{3}}{{=}^{10}}{{C}_{2}}\,{{3}^{\frac{6-10}{2}}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}\] \[=\frac{10\times 9}{2\times {{3}^{2}}\times 4}=\frac{5}{4}\]
