    The term independent of\[x\]is\[{{\left( \frac{3}{2}{{x}^{2}}-\frac{1}{3x} \right)}^{9}}\], is:

    A) \[5/27\]                               

    B)  \[7/18\]

    C)  \[8/27\]                              

    D)  \[1/24\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: The general term of \[{{(a+x)}^{n}}\] is                 \[{{T}_{r+1}}{{=}^{n}}{{C}_{r}}{{a}^{n-r}}\cdot {{x}^{r}}\] The general term of\[{{\left( \frac{3}{2}{{x}^{2}}-\frac{1}{3x} \right)}^{9}}\]is        \[{{T}_{r+1}}{{=}^{9}}{{C}_{r}}{{\left( \frac{3}{2}{{x}^{2}} \right)}^{9-r}}{{\left( -\frac{1}{3x} \right)}^{r}}\]                 \[{{=}^{9}}{{C}_{r}}{{\left( \frac{3}{2} \right)}^{9-r}}{{\left( -\frac{1}{3} \right)}^{r}}{{x}^{18-3r}}\] The term is independent of\[x\] \[\therefore \]  \[18-3r=0\Rightarrow r=6\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{T}_{7}}{{=}^{9}}{{C}_{6}}{{\left( \frac{3}{2} \right)}^{9-6}}{{\left( -\frac{1}{3} \right)}^{6}}\]                 \[=\frac{9\times 8\times 7}{3\times 2\times 1}{{\left( \frac{3}{2} \right)}^{3}}{{\left( \frac{1}{3} \right)}^{6}}=\frac{7}{18}\]
