Question

State true or false :

$3xyz$ and $xy{z}^2$ are like terms

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Terms are :

$3xyz$ and $xy{z}^2$

Since like terms are those terms whose literal coefficient are same

Terms	$3xyz$	$xy{z}^2$
Literal coefficient	$xyz$	$$$xy{z}^2$

So $3xyz$ and $xy{z}^2$ have their literal coefficient different

Therefore, $\mathbf{3}\mathit{x}\mathit{y}\mathit{z}$ and $\mathit{x}\mathit{y}{\mathit{z}}^{\mathbf{2}}$ are unlike terms and the statement is FALSE
