Question

Coefficient of term $x{y}^2$ in expression $4x{y}^2+x^3-x^5+2x{y}^2$ is:

• A. 4
• B. 3
• C. 6

Answer 1

The correct option is C 6

Since $4x{y}^2$ and $2x{y}^2$ are like terms, the given expression is written as follows.
$4x{y}^2+x^3-x^5+2x{y}^2=6x{y}^2+x^3-x^5$
Therefore, coefficient of $x{y}^2$ is 6.
