The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Since, $n=10$ (even), so the middle term will be $\left(\frac{10+2}{2}\right)$ th term, i.e. 6 th term.
Now, $T_{6}={ }^{10} C_{5}\left(\frac{10}{x}\right)^{5}\left(\frac{x}{10}\right)^{5}={ }^{10} C_{5}$

Binomial Theorem

The binomial theorem formula is used in the expansion of any power of a binomial in the form of a series. The binomial theorem formula is 

Properties of Binomial Theorem

  • The number of coefficients in the binomial expansion of (x + y)n is equal to (n + 1).
  • There are (n+1) terms in the expansion of (x+y)n.
  • The first and the last terms are xn and yn respectively.
  • From the beginning of the expansion, the powers of x, decrease from n up to 0, and the powers of a, increase from 0 up to n.
  • The binomial coefficients in the expansion are arranged in an array, which is called Pascal's triangle. This pattern developed is summed up by the binomial theorem formula.
