    In the expansion of \[{{(3x+2)}^{4}}\] the coefficient of middle term is:

    A)  36                         

    B)         216

    C)  54                         

    D)         81

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: In the expansion of \[{{(1+x)}^{n}},\] the middle term is\[\frac{n}{2}th\] if \[n\] is even and \[\left( \frac{n}{2}+1 \right)th\]if \[n\]is odd. In the given expansion \[{{(3x+2)}^{4}}\] Here,        \[n=4\] \[\therefore \] Middle term \[=\frac{n}{2}+1,=\frac{4}{2}+1\] \[=\text{ }3\text{ }rd\text{ }term\] \[\therefore \]      \[{{T}_{3}}={{T}_{2+1}}\]                                 \[={{\,}^{4}}{{C}_{2}}{{(3x)}^{2}}{{(2)}^{2}}\] The coefficient of middle term\[={{\,}^{4}}{{C}_{2}}{{3}^{2}}{{2}^{2}}\] \[=6\times 9\times 4=216\]
