The term independent of x in the expression of 1-x2+3x352x3-15x211,x0 is
  1. 740
  2. 33200
  3. 39200
  4. 1150

Solution

General term of 52x3-15x211 is 

Tr+1=Cr1152x311-r-15x2r =Cr11-1r·511-2r211-r·x33-5r

The term independent of x in the expansion of 1-x2+3x352x3-15x211 will be the coefficient of x0 in 52x3-15x211- coefficient of x-2 in 52x3-15x211+3× coefficient of x-3 in 52x3-15x211

=-C711-17·5-324=33053·24=33200
