A. \(10\sqrt{3}\)

B. 22

C. 28

D. 31

E. \(10\sqrt{3}+21\)


Given
\(\sqrt{5*60 + 4*121}\)

= \(\sqrt{4*15*5 + 4 *121}\)

=\(\sqrt{4( 15*5 + 121)}\)

= \(\sqrt{4*196}\)

= 28.

Note: 14*14 = 196 and 2*2 = 4

The best answer is C.

Solution



To find:
    • The value of the expression √(5*60 + 4*121)

Approach and Working:
We can rewrite the expression as follows:
    • \(\sqrt{(5*60 + 4*121)}\)
    = \(\sqrt{(300 + 484)}\)
    = \(\sqrt{784}\) = 28

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Answer: C
