Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • $ {7^{?}}={7^{8.9}}\div {{(343)}^{1.7}}\times {{(49)}^{4.8}} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ {7^{?}}=\frac{{7^{8.9}}\times {{(7^{2})}^{4.8}}}{{{(7^{3})}^{1.7}}} $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ {7^{?}}=\frac{{7^{8.9,+9.6}}}{{7^{5.1}}} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ {7^{?}}=\frac{{7^{18.5}}}{{7^{5.1}}} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ {7^{?}}={7^{18.5-5.1}}={7^{13.4}} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ ?=13.4 $
