Solution

Given an algebraic expression, $\frac{5}{a} - b + 2 a^{2} b$
The various parts of an algebraic expression that are separated by the $' +'$ or $' -'$ signs are called the terms of the algebraic expression.
The terms of an algebraic expression $\frac{5}{a} - b + 2 a^{2} b$ are $\frac{5}{a}, - b$ and $2 a^{2} b$
So, the given algebraic expression has three terms.
Hence, terms are $\frac{5}{a}, - b, 2 a^{2} b$ and the number of terms is $3$
