Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(7\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(x^5-5 x^4+9 x^3-9 x^2+5 x-1=0\) ...(i) \(\because a_0 x^{\mathrm{n}}+a_1 x^{\mathrm{n}-1}+a_2 x^{\mathrm{n}-2}+\ldots .+a_{\mathrm{n}-1} x+a_{\mathrm{n}}=0\) Here \(a_0=-a_{\mathrm{n}}, a_1=-a_{\mathrm{n}-1}\) is class II reciprocal equation. So, eq (i) is an odd degree…
