The problem asks for the ratio \(x:y\) given an equation involving \(x\) and \(y\). The equation \(x^2 + 25y^2 = 10xy\) can be rearranged into a quadratic form, which can then be factored to find the relationship between \(x\) and \(y\).
Start with the given equation:
\[ x^{2} + 25y^{2} = 10xy \]Rearrange the equation to bring all terms to one side, setting it equal to zero:
\[ x^{2} - 10xy + 25y^{2} = 0 \]Recognize that the left side of the equation is a perfect square trinomial. It is in the form \(a^2 - 2ab + b^2 = (a-b)^2\). Here, \(a = x\) and \(b = 5y\).
So, the equation can be written as:
\[ (x - 5y)^{2} = 0 \]Take the square root of both sides:
\[ x - 5y = 0 \]Solve for \(x\) in terms of \(y\):
\[ x = 5y \]To find the ratio \(x:y\), divide both sides by \(y\) (assuming \(y \neq 0\), which must be true for a ratio to exist):
\[ \frac{x}{y} = 5 \]Express the ratio \(x:y\):
\[ x : y = 5 : 1 \]A) 5 : 1 is the correct ratio derived from the given equation.
The question asks for the year in which the 'Ibadat-Khana' (House of Worship) was constructed by the Mughal emperor Akbar. This is a factual question related to Indian history, specifically the Mughal period.
