ANSWER


5 √(10)

EXPLANATION

We want to simplify:


5 √(10)

We need to check for any perfect square under the radical sign.

But unfortunately, 10 is the product of two prime numbers.

That is


10 = 5 * 2

Since there is no perfect square under the radical sign, it means


5 √(10)

is already in its simplest form.

Hence the correct answer is


5 √(10)
