Tr+1  in  x21x9is  Cr   9x2(9r)1xr Cr   9.x183r.(1)r
for term independent of x, 183r=0r=6
7th term is independent of x and equals C6   9=C3   9=84
Also there are 10 terms, hence 5th term and 6th are the two middle term 
T5=C4   9.  x6 T6=C5   9.  x3
q = coefficient of 5th + coefficient of 6th term
C4   9=C5   9=0 hence p=84;     q=0 pq=C3   9
