The coefficient of the 7th term in the binomial expansion of ((2 – frac{x}{3})^{10}) in…

The coefficient of the 7th term in the binomial expansion of ((2 – frac{x}{3})^{10}) in ascending powers of x is

  • A.
    (frac{560}{243})
  • B.
    (frac{841}{243})
  • C.
    (frac{1120}{243})
  • D.
    (frac{4481}{243})
Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation

(^{10}C_{7 – 1} (2^{10 – 6}) (frac{-1}{3})^{6})

(frac{10!}{(10 – 6)! 6!} times 16 times frac{1}{243} )

= (210 times 16 times frac{1}{729} )

= (frac{1120}{243})
