Solution

The correct option is C $3$
$T_{r + 1} =^{10} C_{r} {(\sqrt{x})}^{10 - r} {(\frac{- k}{x^{2}})}^{r} =^{10} C_{r} x^{(\frac{10 - r}{2} - 2 r)} (- k)^{r}$
For this to be independent of $x$ , $\frac{10 - r}{2} - 2 r = 0 \Rightarrow r = 2$

$∴^{10} C_{2} (- k)^{2} = 405 \Rightarrow k = \pm 3$

The correct option is C 3Tr+1= 10Cr(√x)10−r(−kx2)r= 10Crx(10−r2−2r)(−k)r For this to be independent of x, 10−r2−2r=0⇒r=2 ∴ 10C2(−k)2=405⇒k=±3
