    The sum of coefficients of the expansion\[{{\left( \frac{1}{x}+2x \right)}^{n}}\]is 6561. The coefficient of term independent of \[x\] is

    A) \[16\,{{\,}^{8}}{{C}_{4}}\]            

    B)         \[^{8}{{C}_{4}}\]                             

    C)  \[^{8}{{C}_{5}}\]             

    D)         none of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\because \] Sum of coefficient of the expansion \[{{\left( \frac{1}{x}+2x \right)}^{n}}=6561\]                 \[\therefore \]  \[{{(1+2)}^{n}}={{3}^{8}}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{3}^{n}}={{3}^{8}}\Rightarrow n=8.\] Let \[(r+l)\]term is independent of\[x\].                 \[\therefore \]  \[{{T}_{r+1}}={{\,}^{8}}{{C}_{r}}{{\left( \frac{1}{x} \right)}^{r}}{{(2x)}^{8-r}}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{\,}^{8}}{{C}_{r}}{{2}^{8-r}}{{x}^{8-2r}}\] Since this term is independent of \[x,\]then \[8-2r=0\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[r=4\] \[\therefore \]Coefficient of \[{{T}_{5}}={{\,}^{8}}{{C}_{4}}{{.2}^{4}}\]                 \[=16{{\,}^{8}}C{{\,}_{4}}.\]
