Solution
The correct option is A(a−b)2=a2−2ab+b2 (8x+10y)2=(8x)2+2×(8x)×(10y)×(10y)2 Using Identity (a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2 (8x+10y)2=64x2+160xy+100y2 (10x+8y)2=100x2+160xy+64y2 Now (8x+10y)2−(10x+8y)2=(64x2+160xy+100y2)−(100x2+160xy+64y2) =64x2+160xy+100y2−100x2−160xy−64y2 =36y2−36x2 OR Using Identity a2−b2=(a+b)(a−b) (8x−10y)2)−(10x+8y)2=[(8x+10y)−(10x+8y)]×[(8x+10y)+(10x+8y)] =(y−x)(36x+36y) =36xy−36x2+36y2−36xy =36y2−36x2
