Question

The coefficient of the term obtained after the division of $24x{y}^2$ by $8xy$ is:

• A. 3y
• B. 4
• C. 8y
• D. 3

Answer 1

The correct option is D

3

$24x{y}^2=24\times x\times y\times y$
$8xy=8\times x\times y$
$\frac{24x\left(y^2\right)}{8xy}=\frac{24\times x\times y\times y}{8\times x\times y}=3y$
Here, coefficient of the term 3y is 3.
