The value of $\left(-27 x^2 y^2\right) \div(-9 x y)$ is:
  • A
    $3xy$
  • B
    $-3xy$
  • C
    $-3x$
  • $3x$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$3x$
We have, $\left(-27 x^2 y^2\right) \div(-9 x y)$
$=\frac{-27\text{x}^2\text{y}^2}{-9\text{xy}}$
$=\frac{27\times\text{x}\times\text{x}\times\text{y}}{9\times\text{x}\times\text{y}}$
$=\frac{27}{9}\text{x}$
$=3\text{x}$

MCQ 21 Mark
Product of $6a^2- 7b + 5ab$ and $2ab$ is:
  • A
    $ 12 a^3 b-14 a b^2+10 a b $
  • $ 12 a^3 b-14 a b^2+10 a^2 b^2 $
  • C
    $ 6 a^2-7 b+7 a b $
  • D
    $ 12 a^2 b-7 a b^2+10 a b $
Answer
Correct option: B.
$ 12 a^3 b-14 a b^2+10 a^2 b^2 $
Required product $= 2ab \times (6a^2- 7b + 5ab)$
This is the product of a trinomial by a monomial,
so we multiply monomial with each term of the trinomial.
$2ab \times (6a^2- 7b + 5ab) $
$= 2ab \times 6a^2+ 2ab(-7b) + 2ab \times 5ab$
$= 12 a^3 b-14 a b^2+10 a^2 b^2 $

comparing $(3 x-4 y)^2$ with $(a-b)^2$
We get $a = 3x$ and $b = 4y$
now, using identity,$(a-b)^2=a^2-2 a b+b^2$
$(3 x-4 y)^2=(3 x)^2-2 \cdot 3 x \cdot 4 y+(4 y)^2$
$=9 x^2+16 y^2-24 x y$
