Options
A 20
B 10
Correct Answer
C 5
D 15
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The term with x³y² in (x+y)⁵ is C(5,2) x³y² = 10 x³y², so coefficient is 10.

Hint

The notes indicate answer B (but they said A, let's check: C(5,2)=10, notes say A=20, maybe for x²y³?).
