How to find the middle term in the expansion of (1-(1/x))^n(1-x)^n

(1-1/x)(1-x)n is equivalent to :  (-1)n [x1/2-1/(x1/2)]2n 

The required middle term should be (-1)n  2nC(-1)n    .(Note that the x1/2 and x-1/2 is cancelled and (-1)n remains.)

Alternate would be to expand both the binomials and calculate the coefficient independent of x. 

which is , nC0+nC1+.......+nCn2nCn
