Solution

The correct options are A: x=2,1

5x+1+52x=53+1

5x×5+52×5x=125+1=126

5x×5+255x=126......(i)

Let 5x=y

Then eq. (i) reduces to,

5y+25y=126

5y2126y+25=0

5y2125yy+25=0

5y(y25)1(y25)=0

(y25)(5y1)=0

y25=0 or 5y1=0

y=25 or y=15

5x=25 or 5x=15 [Putting 5x=y]

5x=52 or 5x=51

x=2 or x=1

Roots of the equation are 2 and 1.
