    If the coefficients of \[{{x}^{-2}}\] and \[{{x}^{-4}}\] in the expansion of, \[{{\left( {{x}^{\frac{1}{3}}}\frac{1}{2{{x}^{\frac{1}{3}}}} \right)}^{18}}\] , (x > 0) )are m and n respectively, then \[\frac{m}{n}\] is equal to   JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 10 April 2016)

    A) \[\frac{5}{4}\]                 

    B) \[\frac{4}{5}\]   

    C) \[27\]                                             

    D) \[182\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{T}_{r+1}}{{=}^{18}}{{C}_{r}}{{({{x}^{1/3}})}^{18-r}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2{{x}^{1/3}}} \right)}^{r}}\]                 \[=\,{{\,}^{18}}{{C}_{r}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{r}}{{x}^{\frac{18-2r}{3}}}\]                 For coefficient of \[{{x}^{-2}},\,\,\frac{18-2r}{3}=-2\]  \[\Rightarrow \] r = 12 For coefficient of \[{{x}^{-4}}\], \[\frac{18-2r}{3}=-4\]   \[\Rightarrow \] \[r=15\frac{m}{m}=\frac{^{18}{{C}_{12}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{12}}}{^{18}{{C}_{15}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{15}}}\] \[\frac{^{18}{{C}_{6}}{{(2)}^{3}}}{^{18}{{C}_{3}}}=182\]
