Which is the correct factorisation of (4a^2-4ab+b^2-25c^2)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ( (2a-b-5c)(2a-b+5c) )

Direct answer: Option B,
(2a-b-5c)(2a-b+5c). Start by grouping the first three terms: 4a²-4ab+b²=(2a-b)², because (2a-b)²=4a²-4ab+b². Also, 25c²=(5c)². Therefore the whole expression is (2a-b)²-(5c)². Using u²-v²=(u-v)(u+v), it becomes (2a-b-5c)(2a-b+5c). Option A uses 2a+b; its square gives +4ab, not -4ab. Option B has the required negative middle term and is correct. Option C does not follow a valid identity and generally expands to different terms. Option D is only one square and has no subtraction of 25c². Memory cue: a negative middle term in the first trinomial means (2a-b)², then use difference of squares.
