    The term independent of \[x\] in the expansion of\[{{\left( x+\frac{1}{x} \right)}^{2n}}\]is

    A) \[\frac{1\cdot 3\cdot 5...(2n-1)}{n!}\]

    B) \[\frac{1\cdot 3\cdot 5...(2n-1)}{n!}{{2}^{n}}\]

    C) \[\frac{1\cdot 3\cdot 5...(2n+1)}{(n+1)!}\]

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let \[(r+1)th\] term is independent of \[x\] in the expansion of\[{{\left( x+\frac{1}{x} \right)}^{2n}}\].                 \[{{T}_{r+1}}{{=}^{2n}}{{C}_{r}}{{\times }^{2n-2r}}\] This term is independent of\[x\]. \[\therefore \]  \[2n-2r=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[r=n\] Thus, \[{{T}_{r+1}}{{=}^{2n}}{{C}_{n}}\]                 \[=\frac{(2n)!}{n!n!}=\frac{1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4...(2n-1)(2n)}{n!n!}\]                 \[=\frac{(1\cdot 3\cdot 5...(2n-1)(1\cdot 2...n){{2}^{n}}}{n!n!}\]                 \[=\frac{1\cdot 3\cdot 5...(2n-1)}{n!}\cdot {{2}^{n}}\]
