    If \[x=\sqrt{a\sqrt[3]{b\sqrt{a\sqrt[3]{b.....\infty }}}},\]then the value of x is [SSC (CGL) Mains 2015]

    A) \[\sqrt[5]{a{{b}^{3}}}\]                       

    B) \[\sqrt[5]{{{a}^{5}}b}\]

    C) \[\sqrt[3]{{{a}^{3}}b}\]                       

    D) \[\sqrt[5]{{{a}^{3}}b}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given, \[x=\sqrt{a\sqrt[3]{b\sqrt{a\sqrt[3]{b.....\infty }}}}\]
    By squaring both sides,
    \[{{x}^{2}}=a\sqrt[3]{b\sqrt{a\sqrt[3]{b.....\infty }}}\]
    By cubing both sides,
    \[{{x}^{6}}={{a}^{3}}b\sqrt{a\sqrt[3]{b.....\infty }}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{x}^{6}}={{a}^{3}}bx\]
    \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{x}^{6}}-{{a}^{3}}bx=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \] \[x\,({{x}^{5}}-{{a}^{3}}b)=0\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=0,\]\[{{x}^{5}}={{a}^{3}}b\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[x=\sqrt[5]{{{a}^{3}}b}\]
