Question 5
In the following question out of the four options only one is correct, write the correct answer:
If 5x3−4=2x5, then the numerical value of 2x-7 is:
(a) 1913
(b) −1319
(c) 0
(d) 1319
Given, 5x3−4=2x5⇒5x3−2x5=4⇒25x−6x15=4⇒19x=60⇒x=6019Now,2x−7=2×6019−7 =120−13319=−1319
Hence, the numerical value of 2x-7 is −1319.
