    For\[|x|\,\,<1\], the constant term in the expansion of\[\frac{1}{{{(x-1)}^{2}}(x-2)}\]is

    A)  2                                            

    B)  1

    C)  0                            

    D)        \[-\frac{1}{2}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\frac{1}{{{(x-1)}^{2}}(x-2)}=\frac{1}{-2{{(1-x)}^{2}}\left( 1-\frac{x}{2} \right)}\]                 \[=-\frac{1}{2}\left[ {{(1-x)}^{2}}{{\left( 1-\frac{x}{2} \right)}^{-1}} \right]\]                 \[=-\frac{1}{2}\left[ (1+2x+...)\left( 1+\frac{x}{2}+... \right) \right]\] \[\therefore \]Coefficient of constant term is\[-\frac{1}{2}\].
