(v) $\left(2 p q+3 q^2\right)$ and $\left(3 p q-2 q^2\right)$
(vi) $\left(\frac{3}{4} a^2+3 b^2\right)$ and $4\left(a^2-\frac{2}{3} b^2\right)$
Answer.
$
\text { (i) } \begin{aligned}
& (2 x+5) \times(4 x-3) \\
= & 2 x(4 x-3)+5(4 x-3) \\
= & 2 x \times 4 x-2 x \times 3+5 \times 4 x-5 \times 3 \\
= & 8 x^2-6 x+20 x-15 \\
= & 8 x^2+14 x-15
\end{aligned}
$
$\begin{aligned}
&=8 x^2+14 x-15\\
&\begin{aligned}
& \text { (ii) }(y-8) \times(3 y-4)=y(3 y-4)-8(3 y-4) \\
& =y \times 3 y-y \times 4-8 \times 3 y-8 \times-4 \\
&
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}
&\begin{aligned}
& =3 y^2-4 y-24 y+32 \\
& =3 y^2-28 y+32
\end{aligned}\\
&\begin{aligned}
& \text { (iii) }(2.5 l-0.5 m) \times(2.5 l+0.5 m) \\
& =2.5 l \times(2.5 l+0.5 m)-0.5 m \times(2.5 l+0.5 m) \\
& =2.5 l \times 2.5 l+2.5 l \times 0.5 m-0.5 m \times 2.5 l-0.5 m \times 0.5 m \\
& =6.25 l^2+1.25 l m-1.25 l m-0.25 m^2 \\
& =6.25 l^2-0.25 m^2
\end{aligned}\\
&\begin{aligned}
& \text { (iv) }(a+3 b) \times(x+5)=a(x+5)+3 b(x+5) \\
& =a \times x+a \times 5+3 b \times x+3 b \times 5 \\
& =a x+5 a+3 b x+15 b
\end{aligned}\\
&\begin{aligned}
& \text { (v) }\left(2 p q+3 q^2\right)\left(3 p q-2 q^2\right) \\
& =2 p q \times\left(3 p q-2 q^2\right)+3 q^2\left(3 p q-2 q^2\right) \\
& =2 p q \times 3 p q-2 p q \times 2 q^2+3 q^2 \times 3 p q-3 q^2 \times 2 q^2 \\
& =6 p^2 q^2-4 p q^3+9 p q^3-6 q^4
\end{aligned}
\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}
& =6 p^2 q^2+5 p q^3-6 q^4 \\
& \text { (vi) }\left(\frac{3}{4} a^2+3 b^2\right) \times 4\left(a^2-\frac{2}{3} b^2\right) \\

& =\frac{3}{4} a^2 \times\left(4 a^2-\frac{8}{3} b^2\right)+3 b^2 \times\left(4 a^2-\frac{8}{3} b^2\right)
\end{aligned}$
$
\begin{aligned}
& =\frac{3}{4} a^2 \times 4 a^2-\frac{3}{4} a^2 \times \frac{8}{3} b^2+3 b^2 \times 4 a^2-3 b^2 \times \frac{8}{3} b^2 \\
& =3 a^4-2 a^2 b^2+12 a^2 b^2-8 b^4 \\
& =3 a^4+10 a^2 b^2-8 b^4
\end{aligned}

& =5 \times 3+5 \times x-2 \times \times 3-2 x \times x \\
& =15+5 x-6 x-2 x^2=15-x-2 x^2
\end{aligned}
$
(ii) $(x+7 y)(7 x-y)$
$
\begin{aligned}
& =x(7 x-y)+7 y \times(7 x-y) \\
& =x \times 7 x-x \times y+7 y \times 7 x-7 y \times y \\
& =7 x^2-x y+49 x y-7 y^2 \\
& =7 x^2+48 x y-7 y^2
