    The coefficient of the term independent of \[x\]     in  the  expansion  of\[{{\left( \sqrt{x/3}+\frac{3}{2{{x}^{2}}} \right)}^{10}}\]is:  \[{{\left( \sqrt{x/3}+\frac{3}{2{{x}^{2}}} \right)}^{10}}\]is:

    A)  \[5/4\]                

    B)  7/4

    C)  \[9/4\]                

    D)  \[3/4\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given  \[{{\left( \sqrt{\frac{x}{3}}+\frac{3}{2{{x}^{2}}} \right)}^{10}}\]The standard equation is \[{{\left( a{{x}^{p}}+\frac{b}{{{x}^{q}}} \right)}^{10}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[n=10,p=1/2,q=2\]                 where \[r=\frac{np}{p+q}=\frac{10\times 1/2}{1/2+2}=2\] There, \[(r+1)th\]term in the expansion \[{{T}_{3}}={{\,}^{10}}{{C}_{2}}{{\left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right)}^{10-2}}{{\left( \frac{3}{2} \right)}^{2}}\]                 \[=45\times \frac{1}{81}\times \frac{9}{4}=5/4\]
