Given:

Simplify (2x - 5y)2 + (5x + 2y)2 + (2x + 5y)(2x - 5y)

Formula used:

(a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2

(a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2

(a + b)(a - b) = a2 - b2

Calculation:

(2x - 5y)2 + (5x + 2y)2 + (2x + 5y)(2x - 5y)

(2x)2 - 2(2x)(5y) + (5x)2 + 2(5x)(2y) + (2y)2 + (2x)2 - (5y)2

4x2 - 20xy + 25y25x2 + 20xy + 4y4x2 - 25y2

⇒ 33x2 + 4y2

∴ The correct answer is option (2).
