A.

A line parallel to the line ab

B.

A line perpendicular to the line ab through the mid-point of ab

C.

A circle through a and b with centre at the mid-point of ab

D.

A circle with centre at a and passes through b

E.

A circle in a plane perpendicular to ab and centre at the mid-point of the line ab

If (25)x - 1 = 64(\(\frac{5}{2}\))6, then x has the value

A.

7

B.

4

C.

32

D.

64

E.

5

Correct answer is B

(25)x - 1 = 64(\(\frac{5}{2}\))6

(\(\frac{5}{2}\))6 = (\(\frac{5^6}{64}\))

25x - 1 = 64 x (\(\frac{5^6}{64}\))

52x - 2 = 56

2x - 2 = 6x

= \(\frac{8}{2}\)

= 4
