Q. Assertion–Reason Type Question

Statement-1: \( \sqrt{5\sqrt{5\sqrt{5\cdots}}} = 5\sqrt{5} \)

Statement-2: \( \sqrt{x\sqrt{x\sqrt{x\cdots}}} = x,\ x>0 \)

✏️ Solution

Let \( y = \sqrt{5\sqrt{5\sqrt{5\cdots}}} \)

Then \( y = \sqrt{5y} \)

Squaring: \( y^2 = 5y \)

\( y(y-5) = 0 \Rightarrow y = 5 \) (since positive)

So LHS = 5, not \( 5\sqrt{5} \)

Statement-1 is FALSE

For Statement-2:

Let \( y = \sqrt{x\sqrt{x\cdots}} \Rightarrow y = \sqrt{xy} \)

\( y^2 = xy \Rightarrow y = x \)

So Statement-2 is TRUE

Correct Option: (d)

\( \boxed{\text{(d)}} \)
