  1. A \(6\)
  2. B \(5\)
  3. C \(8\)
  4. D \(10\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(be = 5\sqrt 3 \) \({b^2}{e^2} = 75\) \(\left( {b - a} \right)\left( {b + a} \right) = 75 \Rightarrow b + a = 15\) \( \Rightarrow b = 10,a = 5\) \(LR = \frac{{2{a^2}}}{b}5\)
