Answer: Option 'D' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that


(1)/(5)(25-5a)=4-a

We need to find the value of 'a'.

First we simplify the brackets :


(1)/(5)(25-5a)=4-a\\\\25-5a=5(4-a)\\\\25-5a=20-5a\\\\25-20=-5a+5a\\\\5=0

which is wrong.

Hence, there is no solution.

Therefore, Option 'D' is correct.
