$${25^{2.7}} \times {5^{4.2}} \div {5^{5.4}} = {25^?}$$
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
E
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Let }}{25^{2.7}} \times {5^{4.2}} \div {5^{5.4}} = {25^x} \cr
& {\text{Then, }}{25^{2.7}} \times {5^{(4.2 - 5.4)}} = {25^x} \cr
& \Leftrightarrow {25^{2.7}} \times {5^{( - 1.2)}} = {25^x} \cr
& \Leftrightarrow {25^{2.7}} \times \frac{1}{{{5^{1.2}}}} = {25^x} \cr
& \Leftrightarrow \frac{{{{25}^{2.7}}}}{{{{\left( {{5^2}} \right)}^{0.6}}}} = {25^x} \cr
& \Leftrightarrow \frac{{{{\left( {25} \right)}^{2.7}}}}{{{{\left( {25} \right)}^{0.6}}}} = {25^x} \cr
& \Leftrightarrow {25^x} = {25^{\left( {2.7 - 0.6} \right)}} = {25^{2.1}} \cr
& \Leftrightarrow x = 2.1 \cr} $$
