If $${\text{5}}\sqrt 5 \times {5^3} \div {5^{ - \frac{3}{2}}}{\text{ = }}{{\text{5}}^{a + 2}}$$ then the value of a is = ?
A. 4
B. 5
C. 6
D. 8
Answer: Option A
Solution(By Examveda Team)
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{5}}\sqrt 5 \times {5^3} \div {5^{ - \frac{3}{2}}}{\text{ = }}{{\text{5}}^{a + 2}} \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{5 \times {5^{\frac{1}{2}}} \times {5^3}}}{{{5^{ - \frac{3}{2}}}}} = {5^{a + 2}} \cr & \Rightarrow {5^{\left( {1 + \frac{1}{2} + 3 + \frac{3}{2}} \right)}} = {5^{a + 2}} \cr & \Rightarrow {5^6} = {5^{a + 2}} \cr & \Rightarrow a + 2 = 6 \cr & \Rightarrow a = 4 \cr} $$Related Questions on Surds and Indices
