Solution

The correct option is D $4$
When the polynomial $a^{3} + 2 a^{2} - 5 a x - 7$ is divided by $a + 1$ , the remainder is $R_{1}$ .
By the remainder theorem, the remainder is,
$R_{1} = (- 1)^{3} + 2 (- 1)^{2} - 5 (- 1) x - 7$
$14 = - 1 + 2 + 5 x - 7 = 5 x - 6$
$14 = 5 x - 6$
$14 + 6 = 5 x$
$20 = 5 x$
$∴ x = 4$
