Correct Answer :

Option C

311

Solution :

The correct option is 311.

Let the unknown value represented by the question mark (?) be x.
The given equation can be written as:

x 2 × 21 - 30 × 35 × 63 × 54 = 189

Step 1: Simplify the square root term.
Break down each number inside the square root into its prime factors:
• 30 = 2 × 3 × 5
• 35 = 5 × 7
• 63 = 7 × 9 = 7 × 32
• 54 = 6 × 9 = 2 × 3 × 32 = 2 × 33

Now, group the factors together under the radical:

30 × 35 × 63 × 54 = ( 2 × 3 × 5 ) × ( 5 × 7 ) × ( 7 × 3 2 ) × ( 2 × 3 3 )

Combining powers of the same base gives:

2 2 × 3 6 × 5 2 × 7 2

Take the square root of each perfect square factor:

= 2 × 3 3 × 5 × 7

= 2 × 27 × 5 × 7 = 1890

Step 2: Substitute the simplified value back into the original equation.

21 x 2 - 1890 = 189

Add 1890 to both sides:

21 x 2 = 189 + 1890

21 x 2 = 2079

Step 3: Solve for x.
Divide both sides by 21:

x 2 = 2079 21

x 2 = 99

Take the square root of both sides:

x = 99 = 9 × 11 = 3 11

Thus, the value that replaces the question mark (?) is 3√11.
