25

Explanation:

Its given that x+y=xy=5
Now, to solve the given equation which is:
x2y+y2x=????

This equation can also be written as:
x×x×y + y×y×x

Now, xy or yx in the above equation can be replaced by 5 (yx can also be replaced by 5 because multiplication of numbers in either sequence will give the same answer. For eg: 2×3=3×2=6)

and then, the equation becomes: 5x+5y

Taking the common factor 5 out, we get 5(x+y)..........(1)

But x+y=5
Putting this value of x+y in the equation (1)

or, 5×5=25
