Solution : Here, n = 20, which is an even number. So, \({20\over 2} + 1\)th term i.e. 11th term is the middle term. Hence, the middle term = \(T_{11}\) \(T_{11}\) = \(T_{10 + 1}\) = \(^{20}C_{10}\) \(({2\over 3}x^2)^{20 – 10}\) \((-{3\over 2x})^{10}\) = \(^{20}C_{10} x^{10}\) Similar Questions Find the middle term in the expansion …
