Correct Option: B
Note that (\frac{10\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{10\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5}} \times - \frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}})
= (\frac{10\sqrt{15}}{\sqrt{5}} = 2\sqrt{15})
hence, ((\frac{10\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{5}} - \sqrt{15}))2 = ((2\sqrt{15} - \sqrt{15}))2
= ((2\sqrt{15} - \sqrt{15}))((2\sqrt{15} - \sqrt{15}))
= 4(\sqrt{15 \times 15} - 2\sqrt{15 \times 15} - 2\sqrt{15 x 15} + \sqrt{15 \times 15})
= 4 x 15 - 2 x 15 - 2 x 15 + 15
= 60 - 30 - 30 + 15
= 15
