The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "Middle term for expansion of \((2x - 3)^{8}\) is the 5th term" is true or false, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the value of \(n\) The expression given is \((2x - 3)^{8}\). Here, \(n = 8\). ### Step 2: Determine if \(n\) is even or odd Since \(n = 8\) is even, we can proceed to find the middle term. ### Step 3: Calculate the middle term For a binomial expansion \((a + b)^n\), when \(n\) is even, the middle term is given by the formula: \[ \text{Middle term} = \left(\frac{n}{2} + 1\right)^{th} \text{ term} \] Substituting \(n = 8\): \[ \text{Middle term} = \left(\frac{8}{2} + 1\right)^{th} \text{ term} = (4 + 1)^{th} \text{ term} = 5^{th} \text{ term} \] ### Step 4: Conclusion Since we have calculated that the middle term is indeed the 5th term, the statement "Middle term for expansion of \((2x - 3)^{8}\) is the 5th term" is **True**. ### Final Answer **True** ---
