    C) 125

    D) \[125\sqrt{2}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given sequence is \[\sqrt{2},\ \sqrt{10},\ \sqrt{50}........\] Common ratio  \[r=\sqrt{5}\], first term \[a=\sqrt{2}\], then \[{{7}^{th}}\] term \[{{t}_{7}}=\sqrt{2}{{(\sqrt{5})}^{7-1}}=\sqrt{2}{{(\sqrt{5})}^{6}}=\sqrt{2}{{(5)}^{3}}=125\sqrt{2}\].
