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.
