A student factorised \(12m^2-7mn-10n^2\) as \((3m-2n)(4m+5n)\). Which is the correct factorisation after checking the sign of the middle term?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \((3m+2n)(4m-5n)\)

In \((3m+2n)(4m-5n)\), the cross-products are \(-15mn\) and \(+8mn\), giving \(-7mn\). Option B gives \(+7mn\), so its middle-term sign is wrong. Exam tip: always add the cross-products to verify factorisation.
