Solution

The correct option is A $(5 y - 4) (y - 5)$
Given
$5 y^{2} - 29 y + 20$

$- 25 - 4 = - 29$ .............the split of the middle term

$- 25 \times - 4 = 100$ ...........the split of the last term

Now, splitting we get

$= 5 y^{2} - 25 y - 4 y + 20$
$= 5 y (y - 5) - 4 (y - 5)$

$= (y - 5) (5 y - 4)$
