The correct answer is: -2

Given,

x2+7x2+1x-2=Ax-2+Bx+Cx2+1

x2+7=Ax2+1+Bx+Cx-2 ....1

On taking x=2 we get,

11=5AA=115

Now comparing coefficient of x2 in equation 1 we get,

1=A+BB=1-115B=-65

Now comparing constant term in equation 1 we get,

7=A-2C2C=115-7C=-125

Now putting the value in ABC25=115-65-12525

ABC25=115×25--65×-125=2225-7225=-5025=-2
