In the expansion of x-1x6 the coefficient of x0 is
20
-20
30
-30
Determine the coefficient of x0 in the expansion of x-1x6
We know that the rth term in the binomial expansion of a+bn is Tr+1=nCran-rbr
∴Tr+1=6Crx6-r-1xr=6Crx6-r-r-1r=6Crx6-2r-1r....(i)
As we have to find the coefficient of x0 then
⇒6-2r=0⇒r=3⇒6Crx6-2r-1r=6C3x6-23-13[Substitutingr=3into(i)]=-6C3x0=-6!3!(6-3)!x0=-20x0
Hence, option B is correct .
