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

    A) \[\frac{n}{{{[(n/2)!]}^{2}}}\]

    B) \[-\frac{(2n!)}{{{[(n/2)!]}^{2}}}\]

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

    D) \[\frac{(2n)!}{{{(n!)}^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\because \]\[{{\left( {{x}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{x}^{2}}}+2 \right)}^{n}}={{\left[ {{\left( x+\frac{1}{x} \right)}^{2}} \right]}^{n}}={{\left( x+\frac{1}{x} \right)}^{2n}}\] The number of terms in the expansion of\[{{\left( x+\frac{1}{x} \right)}^{2n}}\]is\[2n+1\]which is odd. Therefore,\[(n+1)\text{th}\]term will be middle term. \[\therefore \]  \[{{T}_{n+1}}{{=}^{2n}}{{C}_{n}}{{(x)}^{2n-n}}{{\left( \frac{1}{x} \right)}^{n}}\]                        \[{{=}^{2n}}{{C}_{n}}{{x}^{n}}\cdot \frac{1}{{{x}^{n}}}\]                        \[{{=}^{2n}}{{C}_{n}}=\frac{(2n)!}{n!n!}=\frac{(2n)!}{{{(n!)}^{2}}}\]
