Binomial Theorem And Its Simple Applications Question 11

Question: The term independent of y in the expansion of $ {{({y^{-1/6}}-{y^{1/3}})}^{9}} $ is

[BIT Ranchi 1980]

Options:

A) 84

B) 8.4

C) 0.84

D) - 84

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

  • $ (9-r)( -\frac{1}{6} )+r( \frac{1}{3} )=0\Rightarrow r=3 $ So the term independent of y = $ ^{9}C_3{{({y^{-1/6}})}^{6}}{{(-{y^{1/3}})}^{3}}=-84 $ .
