C.
We have the expression
2x2 + mxy + 3y2 - 5y - 2
Comparing the given expression with
ax2 + 2hxy + by2 + 2gx + 2fy + c,
we get
a = 2, h = , b = 3, c = - 2, g = 0, f = -
The given expression is resolvable into linear factors, if
abc + 2fgh - af2 - bg2 - ch2 = 0
(2) (3) (- 2) + 2(0) - 2 - 0 - (- 2) = 0
