The correct answer is: -25

Since, tanA and tanB are roots of the equation 3x2-10x-25=0.

So, tanA+tanB=103 and tanA.tanB=-253

tanA+B=tanA+tanB1-tanA.tanB=1031+253=1028=514

So, sinA+B=±5221& cosA+B=±14221

(Note that either both are negative or both positive)

3sin2A+B-10sinA+B.cosA+B-25cos2A+B

=3×25221-10×5×14221-25×142221

=252213-28-196=-25
