\(f(x,y)=x^3−5xy^2\)

To find f(10,m) we need to compare what is inside the bracket in f(10,m) and f(x,y)
=> We need to replace x with 10 and y with m in \(f(x,y)=x^3−5xy^2\) to get the value of f(10,m)

=> \(f(10,m)=10^3−5*10*m^2\) = 1000 - 50\(m^2\) = 200 (given)
=> 50\(m^2\) = 800
=> \(m^2\) = \(\frac{800}{50}\) = 16

Similarly, \(f(20,2m)=20^3−5*20*(2m)^2\) = 8000 - 5 * 20 * 4 * \([m]^2\)[/m] = 8000 - 400 * 16 = 8000 - 6400 = 1600

So, Answer will be E
Hope it helps!

As a function is homogenous with degree 3. , f(20,2m)=f(2*10,2*m)=2^3f(10,m)=8*200=1600
