There is no such formula. Let us take an example to find out term independent of the variable in the binomial expansion.
Example: Find the term independent of the variable x in the expansion (2x2 + 1/x)12
Let the term independent of x is Tr+1
Now Tr+1 = (r+1)th term
= 12Cr * (2x2 )12-r *(1/x)r
= 12Cr * 212-r *(x2 )12-r * 1/xr
= 12Cr * 212-r *x24-2r * 1/xr
= 12Cr * 212-r *x24-2r-r
=> Tr+1 = 12Cr * 212-r *x24-3r ................1
For the term independent of x,
24 - 3r = 0
=> 3r = 24
=> r = 24/3
=> r = 8
So T8+1 = (8+1)th term = 9th term is is independent of the variable x.
Now from equation 1, we get
T8+1 = 12C8 * 212-8 *x0
= 12C8 * 24
=> T9 = 16* 12C8
So in this way, we calculate the term independent of the variable in the binomial expansion.
