Question

Find the number of unlike terms in (x + 2y + 3z)(2x - y + z).

This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

6

Multiplying out \((x + 2y + 3z)(2x - y + z)\) term by term:

\(x(2x - y + z) = 2x^2 - xy + xz\)

\(2y(2x - y + z) = 4xy - 2y^2 + 2yz\)

\(3z(2x - y + z) = 6xz - 3yz + 3z^2\)

Adding and combining like terms: \(2x^2 - 2y^2 + 3z^2 + 3xy + 7xz - yz\).

This simplified expression has 6 unlike terms.
