Correct answer: C

  1. We need the term independent of xxx in (160−x881)(2x2−3x2)6.\left(\frac{1}{60}-\frac{x^8}{81}\right)\left(2x^2-\frac{3}{x^2}\right)^6.(601​−81x8​)(2x2−x23​)6.

  2. First expand the general term of (2x2−3x2)6.\left(2x^2-\frac{3}{x^2}\right)^6.(2x2−x23​)6.

Using the binomial theorem, the general term is Tr+1=(6r)(2x2)6−r(−3x2)r,r=0,1,2,…,6.T_{r+1}=\binom{6}{r}(2x^2)^{6-r}\left(-\frac{3}{x^2}\right)^r, \qquad r=0,1,2,\dots,6.Tr+1​=(r6​)(2x2)6−r(−x23​)r,r=0,1,2,…,6.

Simplify: Tr+1=(6r)26−r(−3)rx2(6−r)x−2rT_{r+1}=\binom{6}{r}2^{6-r}(-3)^r x^{2(6-r)}x^{-2r}Tr+1​=(r6​)26−r(−3)rx2(6−r)x−2r =(6r)26−r(−3)rx12−4r.=\binom{6}{r}2^{6-r}(-3)^r x^{12-4r}.=(r6​)26−r(−3)rx12−4r.

So the power of xxx in the general term is 12−4r.12-4r.12−4r.

  1. Now multiply by (160−x881).\left(\frac{1}{60}-\frac{x^8}{81}\right).(601​−81x8​). We want the total power of xxx to be 000.

There are two cases.

Case 1: From 160\frac{1}{60}601​

We need the term in the binomial expansion with power of xxx equal to 000: 12−4r=0  ⟹  r=3.12-4r=0 \implies r=3.12−4r=0⟹r=3.

For r=3r=3r=3, T4=(63)23(−3)3x0.T_4=\binom{6}{3}2^3(-3)^3x^0.T4​=(36​)23(−3)3x0. Compute: (63)=20,23=8,(−3)3=−27.\binom{6}{3}=20,\quad 2^3=8,\quad (-3)^3=-27.(36​)=20,23=8,(−3)3=−27. So, T4=20⋅8⋅(−27)=−4320.T_4=20\cdot 8\cdot (-27)=-4320.T4​=20⋅8⋅(−27)=−4320.

Multiplying by 160\frac{1}{60}601​ gives contribution 160(−4320)=−72.\frac{1}{60}(-4320)=-72.601​(−4320)=−72.

Case 2: From −x881-\frac{x^8}{81}−81x8​

Now we need the term in the binomial expansion with power of xxx equal to −8-8−8 so that after multiplying by x8x^8x8, the total power becomes 000: 12−4r=−8  ⟹  −4r=−20  ⟹  r=5.12-4r=-8 \implies -4r=-20 \implies r=5.12−4r=−8⟹−4r=−20⟹r=5.

For r=5r=5r=5, T6=(65)21(−3)5x−8.T_6=\binom{6}{5}2^1(-3)^5x^{-8}.T6​=(56​)21(−3)5x−8. Compute: (65)=6,21=2,(−3)5=−243.\binom{6}{5}=6,\quad 2^1=2,\quad (-3)^5=-243.(56​)=6,21=2,(−3)5=−243. Thus, T6=6⋅2⋅(−243)x−8=−2916x−8.T_6=6\cdot 2\cdot (-243)x^{-8}=-2916x^{-8}.T6​=6⋅2⋅(−243)x−8=−2916x−8.

Multiplying by −x881-\frac{x^8}{81}−81x8​ gives contribution −181⋅(−2916)=36.-\frac{1}{81}\cdot (-2916)=36.−811​⋅(−2916)=36.

  1. Add both constant contributions: −72+36=−36.-72+36=-36.−72+36=−36.

  2. Therefore, the term independent of xxx is −36.\boxed{-36}.−36​.

  3. Comparing with the stored correct answer: stored answer is C, i.e. −36-36−36, which matches our result.
