Solution

The correct option is A $8 a^{2} - 3 b^{2} - 10 x y - 7$
Let the term to be added be 's' .
$3 x y - 4 a^{2} + 5 b^{2} + 2 + s = - 5 + 4 a^{2} + 2 b^{2} - 7 x y$
$\Rightarrow s = (- 5 + 4 a^{2} + 2 b^{2} - 7 x y) - (3 x y - 4 a^{2} + 5 b^{2} + 2)$
Rearranging the terms and subtracting,
$4 a^{2} + 2 b^{2} - 7 x y - 5$
$- 4 a^{2} + 5 b^{2} + 3 x y + 2$
(+) (-) (-) (-)
