Solution

The correct option is D $- \frac{1}{2}$
$B = ({x - 1)}^{- 2} {(x - 2)}^{- 1}$
Take, $a = - 1$ & $b = - 2$
$∴ B = {(x + a)}^{b} {(x + b)}^{a} = {(a + x)}^{b} {(b + x)}^{a}$
$∴ T_{r + 1} = [{^{b} C}_{r} . a^{b - r} x^{r}] [{^{a} C}_{r} {. b}^{(a - r)} x^{r}]$
For constant term : $2 r = 0$
$\Rightarrow$ $r = 0$
$∴ T_{r + 1} = {^{a} C}_{0} . {^{b} C}_{0} . a^{b} . b^{a}$
$= - 1.1. ({- 1)}^{- 2} . {(- 2)}^{- 1}$
$= \frac{1}{2}$ .
Hence the answer is $\frac{1}{2} .$
