The correct answer is: 55

Given that x4-12x212

rth term of an expression is Tr+1 =Crnxn-ryr Tr+1=Cr12x412-r-12x2r=Cr121412-r(-12)r·x12-r-2r
  12-3r=0
  r=4

So term independent from x is T5=C412·148·34·44=C412·3444

We know that Crn=n!n-r!r!

=55×3644

They given that it is =k 3644

So required value of  k = 55.
