Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e 5.

Understanding/Application

(3a+3 x 4a+6 x 25a+1)/(27a-1 x 8a-2x 125a+4) =  4/1526

3-2a+6 x 2-a+18 x 5-a-10 = 22 x 5-26 x 3-26

Compare any number of multiple.

Let compare the power of 2 both sides

-a + 18 = 2

a = 16

Now,

√ a + 9 = √ 16 + 9 = √25= 5
