Answer

Correct option: A.

Two real and positive roots

a
Equation $3\left(x-a^{5}\right)\left(x-a^{7}\right)+5\left(x-a^{3}\right)\left(x-a^{7}\right)+7\left(x-a^{3}\right)\left(x-a^{5}\right)=0$

${\rm{ Now }}\,\,\,a > 1 \Rightarrow {a^3} < {a^5} < {a^7}$

${\rm{ Let }}f(x) = 3\left( {x - {a^5}} \right)\left( {x - {a^7}} \right) + 5\left( {x - {a^5}} \right)\left( {x - {a^7}} \right) + $

${7\left(x-a^{3}\right)\left(x-a^{5}\right) /\left(x-a^{3}\right)\left(x-a^{3}\right)\left(x-a^{7}\right)} $

$f\left( {{a^{3 - }}} \right) < 0,f\left( {{a^{3 + }}} \right) > 0,f\left( {{a^{5 - }}} \right) < 0$

$f\left( {{a^{5 + }}} \right) > 0,f\left( {{a^{7 - }}} \right) < 0\,\,and\,\,f\left( {{a^{7 + }}} \right) > 0$

$\therefore$ Equation has one root lying in $\left(a^{3}, a^{5}\right)$ and other in $\left(a^{5}, a^{7}\right)$

Now $a>1 \therefore$ Roots are real and positive
