MCQ
The factorisation of $12a^2b + 15ab^2$ gives:
  • A
    $3ab(4ab + 5)$
  • $3ab(4a + 5b)$
  • C
    $3a(4a + 5b)$
  • D
    $3b(4a + 5b)$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$3ab(4a + 5b)$
B.  $3ab(4a + 5b)$
Solution:
$12 a^2 b+15 a b^2 $
$12 a^2 b=3 \times 4 \times a \times a \times b $
$15 a b^2=3 \times 5 \times a \times b \times b$
The common factors are 3ab.
$12 a^2 b+15 a b^2=3 a b(4 a+5 b)$
