MCQ
On simplification, the expression $\frac{5^{\text{n}+2}-6\times5^{\text{n}+1}}{13\times5^{\text{n}}-2\times5^{\text{n}+1}}$ equals:
  • A
    $\frac{5}{3}$
  • $-\frac{5}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{5}$
  • D
    $-\frac{3}{5}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$-\frac{5}{3}$
$\frac{5^{\text{n}+2}-6\times5^{\text{n}+1}}{13\times5^{\text{n}}-2\times5^{\text{n}+1}}$
$=\frac{5^{\text{n}+1}(5-6)}{5^{\text{n}}(13-2\times5)}$
$=\frac{5^{\text{n}}\times5\times(-1)}{5^{\text{n}}(13-10)}$
$=-\frac{5}{3}$
Hence, the correct option is $(b)$.
