Answer:

Option C is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to simplify the radical

[tex]\sqrt{\frac{20x^{13}y^5}{5xy^7}}[/tex]

We know that a^m/a^n = a^m-n and 20/5 = 4

Solving

[tex]\sqrt{4x^{13-1}y^{5-7}}\\\sqrt{4x^{12}y^{-2}}\\[/tex]

Now, √4 = 2 and a^-m = 1/a^m

Applying,

[tex]2\sqrt{\frac{x^{12}}{y^2}}\\[/tex]

So, Option C [tex]2\sqrt{\frac{x^{12}}{y^2}}\\[/tex] is correct.
