Answer

(3x - 4y)2 - (3x + 4y)2

Using the formula,

[∵(x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2]

and,

[∵(x - y)2 = x2 - 2xy + y2]

= [(3x)2 - 2 ×\times (3x) ×\times (4y) + (4y)2] - [(3x)2 + 2 ×\times (3x) ×\times (4y) + (4y)2]

= [9x2 - 24xy + 16y2] - [9x2 + 24xy + 16y2]

= 9x2 - 24xy + 16y2 - 9x2 - 24xy - 16y2

= (9x2 - 9x2) + (- 24xy - 24xy) + (16y2 - 16y2)

= - 48xy

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
