Which of the following is correct?

  1. A
    (4x−5y)
    2
    =16x
    2
    −20xy+25y
    2
  2. B
    (4x−5y)
    2
    =16x
    2
    +40xy−25y
    2
  3. C
    (4x−5y)
    2
    =16x
    2
    −40xy+25y
    2
  4. D
    (4x−5y)
    2
    =16x
    2
    −20xy−25y
    2

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Using the standard algebraic identity:
(a−b)
2
=a
2
−2ab+b
2

Here, let a=4x and b=5y. Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

(4x−5y)
2
=(4x)
2
−2(4x)(5y)+(5y)
2

(4x−5y)
2
=16x
2
−40xy+25y
2

Thus, option C is the correct equation.
