What is the middle term in the expansion of (x/2 + 6y)8? Correct Answer 45360x4

We know that in the expansion of (x+y)n, if n is even then the middle term is (n/2 + 1)th term. Hence, the middle term in the expansion of (x/2 + 6y)8 is (8/2+1)th = 5th term. Now, assuming that x5 occurs in the (r+1)th term of the expansion (x/2+6y)8, we obtain Tr+1 =nCrxn-ryr = 8C4(x/2)4(6y)4 = 45360x4.
