Solution

The correct option is C $- 10$
The coefficient of term $x y^{3}$ in the expression $5 x^{3} - 10 x y^{3} + 3 x^{2} y$ is $- 10$ .

A coefficient may be either a numerical factor including its sign (like $5, - 3, 25$ ...) or an algebraic factor (like $x, y, x^{3} y$ ...) or a product of two or more factors (like $3 x y, 5 x^{2} z$ ...) in a term of an algebraic expression.
