    The ninth term of the expansion \[{{\left( 3x-\frac{1}{2x} \right)}^{8}}\] is

    A)  \[\frac{1}{512{{x}^{9}}}\]                            

    B)  \[\frac{-1}{512{{x}^{9}}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{-1}{256.{{x}^{8}}}\]                         

    D)  \[\frac{1}{256.{{x}^{8}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The general term of the expansion \[{{(x+a)}^{n}}\] is \[{{T}_{r+1}}{{=}^{n}}{{C}_{r}}{{x}^{n-r}}{{a}^{r}}\].  We have \[{{\left( 3x-\frac{1}{2x} \right)}^{8}}\] Here, \[r=8,\] \[x=3x,\] \[a=\left( -\frac{1}{2x} \right),n=8\] \[\therefore \] Nineth term \[{{T}_{9}}{{=}^{8}}{{C}_{8}}{{(3x)}^{\mathbf{8}-8}}{{\left( \frac{-1}{2x} \right)}^{8}}\]                                 \[=\frac{1}{256.{{x}^{8}}}\]
