    In the expansion of \[{{\left( \frac{3{{x}^{2}}}{2}-\frac{1}{3x} \right)}^{9}}\],the term independent of x  is                        [MNR 1981; AMU 1983; JMI EEE 2001]

    A) \[^{9}{{C}_{3}}.\frac{1}{{{6}^{3}}}\]

    B) \[^{9}{{C}_{3}}{{\left( \frac{3}{2} \right)}^{3}}\]

    C) \[^{9}{{C}_{3}}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    In the expansion of\[{{\left( \frac{3{{x}^{2}}}{2}+\frac{1}{3x} \right)}^{9}}\], the general term is \[{{T}_{r+1}}={{\,}^{9}}{{C}_{r}}.{{\left( \frac{3{{x}^{2}}}{2} \right)}^{9-r}}{{\left( -\frac{1}{3x} \right)}^{r}}\]\[={{\,}^{9}}{{C}_{r}}{{\left( \frac{3}{2} \right)}^{9-r}}{{\left( -\frac{1}{3} \right)}^{r}}{{x}^{18-3r}}\] For the term independent of x, 18 - 3r = 0 Þ r = 6 This gives the independent term \[{{T}_{6+1}}={{\,}^{9}}{{C}_{6}}{{\left( \frac{3}{2} \right)}^{9-6}}{{\left( -\frac{1}{3} \right)}^{6}}={{\,}^{9}}{{C}_{3}}.\frac{1}{{{6}^{3}}}\]
