    Question

    Select the number that can replace the question mark (?) in the following equation.

    477.5÷4732×473=(47)?47^{7.5} \div 47^{\frac{3}{2}} \times 47^{-3} = (\sqrt{47})^?​​

    A.

    6

    B.

    4

    C.

    5

    D.

    2122 \frac{1}{2}​​

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    477.5÷4732×473=(47)?47^{7.5} \div 47^{\frac{3}{2}} \times 47^{-3} = (\sqrt{47})^? 

    Concept Used:

    am÷an=amna^m÷a^n=a^{m-n} 

    am×an=am+na^m×a^n = a^{m+n} 

    (am)n=am×n(a^m)^n = a^{m×n}​​

    Solution:

    L.H.S. 

    477.5÷4732×473=(47)?47^{7.5} \div 47^{\frac{3}{2}} \times 47^{-3} = (\sqrt{47})^? 

    477.5÷4732×473=477.5323=477.51.53=47347^{7.5} \div 47^{\frac{3}{2}} \times 47^{-3} = 47^{7.5 - \frac{3}{2} - 3} = 47^{7.5 - 1.5 - 3} = 47^{3} 

    R.H.S.

    (47)?=47?2(\sqrt{47})^? = 47^{\frac{?}{2}}

    Now, equate the exponents:

    473=47?247^{3} = 47^{\frac{?}{2}} 

    3=?23 = \frac{?}{2} 

    ?=6? = 6 

    Thus, the answer is 6.
