A. 4

B. 5

C. 6

D. 8

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{5}}\sqrt 5 \times {5^3} \div {5^{ - \frac{3}{2}}}{\text{ = }}{{\text{5}}^{a + 2}} \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{5 \times {5^{\frac{1}{2}}} \times {5^3}}}{{{5^{ - \frac{3}{2}}}}} = {5^{a + 2}} \cr & \Rightarrow {5^{\left( {1 + \frac{1}{2} + 3 + \frac{3}{2}} \right)}} = {5^{a + 2}} \cr & \Rightarrow {5^6} = {5^{a + 2}} \cr & \Rightarrow a + 2 = 6 \cr & \Rightarrow a = 4 \cr} $$
