As discussed in concept

Properties of Binomial Theorem -

\left ( x+a \right )^{n}+\left ( x-a \right )^{n}= 2\left ( ^{n}c_{0} \, x^{n}+ ^{n}c_{2}\, x^{n-2}\, a^{2}+---\right )

- wherein

Sum of odd terms or even Binomial coefficients

 

 We get

2(1+^9{C_{2}} (3\sqrt{2x})^{2}+^9{C_{4}}(3\sqrt{2x})^{4}+^9{C_{6}}(3\sqrt{2x})^{6}+^9{C_{8}}(3\sqrt{2x})^{8})

We have 5 non-zero terms


Option 1)

9

Option 2)

10

This is incorrect option

Option 3)

5

This is correct option
