Question
On simplification, the expression $\frac{5^{\text{n}+2}-6\times5^{\text{n}+1}}{13\times5^{\text{n}}-2\times5^{\text{n}+1}}$ equals :
✓
Answer
- $-\frac{5}{3}$
Solution :
$\frac{5^{\text{n}+2}-6\times5^{\text{n}+1}}{13\times5^{\text{n}}-2\times5^{\text{n}+1}}$
$=\frac{5^{\text{n}+1}(5-6)}{5^{\text{n}}(13-2\times5)}$
$=\frac{5^{\text{n}}\times5\times(-1)}{5^{\text{n}}(13-10)}$
$=-\frac{5}{3}$
Hence, the correct option is (b).
