We have $\(M=|15 x+25 y|\)$, where $\(x\)$ and $\(y\)$ are different integers, which is an absolute value of addition/subtraction of $\(15 x\)$ and $\(25 y\)$ i.e. multiples of 5 .
So the value of M should be nothing but the addition or subtraction of multiples of 5 .
Thus the value of M can be a multiple of 5 only.
Hence the values of $\(M\)$ can be (A), (B) \& (D) only.
