    The coefficient of\[{{x}^{-9}}\]in the expansion of \[{{\left( \frac{{{x}^{2}}}{2}+\frac{2}{x} \right)}^{9}}\]is:

    A)  512                       

    B)         \[-512\]

    C)  521                       

    D)         251

    E)  522

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let the coefficient of\[{{x}^{-9}}\]is in the\[(r+1)th\] term in the expansion of then \[{{T}_{r+1}}{{=}^{9}}{{C}_{r}}{{\left( \frac{{{x}^{2}}}{2} \right)}^{9-r}}{{\left( -\frac{2}{x} \right)}^{r}}\]                 \[{{=}^{9}}{{C}_{r}}\frac{{{x}^{18-2r}}}{{{2}^{9-r}}}.\frac{{{(-1)}^{r}}{{.2}^{r}}}{{{x}^{r}}}\]                 \[{{=}^{9}}{{C}_{r}}\frac{{{x}^{18-3r}}}{{{2}^{9-2r}}}{{(-1)}^{r}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{x}^{18-3r}}={{x}^{-9}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[18-3r=-9\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[27-3r\Rightarrow r=9\] \[\therefore \]Coefficient of\[{{x}^{-9}}{{=}^{9}}{{C}_{9}}\frac{1}{{{2}^{-9}}}{{(-1)}^{9}}\]                                 \[=-{{2}^{9}}=-512\]
