Detailed Solution
Tthe sum of the oefficients of the expansion1x+2xn=6561 Therefore (1+2)n=38 ⇒3n=38⇒n=8 Let (r+1) th term is independent of x . Therefore, Tr+1=Cr 81x(2x)8-r =C 8 r 2 8-r x8-2r Since this term is independent of x , then 8-2r=0⇒r=4 Therefore, coefficient of independent term is T5=C4 8·24=16·C4 8
