Q3 of 111 Page 337

x is a non-zero rational number. Product of the square of x with the cube of x is equal to the

Let us break the question,

Square of x = x2


Cube of x = x3


According to Law of indices,


am × an = a (m + n)


Here in the question,


a = x


m = 2


n = 3


∴ m + n = 3 + 2


= 5


x2 × x3 = x5


So the correct answer is C.
