Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1080

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\((2 x-3 y)^5\) Numerically greatest term \(=\frac{(n+1)|\alpha|}{|\alpha|+1}\) where \(\alpha=\frac{-3 y}{2 x}, n=5\) \[ \because \quad x=\frac{3}{2}, y=\frac{2}{3} \] \[ \therefore \frac{x}{y}=\frac{9}{4}, \alpha=\frac{-3}{2} \times \frac{4}{9}=\frac{-2}{3} \text {. } \]…
