Question
If $$x + \frac{1}{x} = 5{\text{,}}$$   then the value of $$\frac{{5x}}{{{x^2} + 5x + 1}}$$   is?
Options:
A .  $$\frac{1}{3}$$
B .  $$\frac{1}{4}$$
C .  $$\frac{1}{2}$$
D .  $$\frac{1}{5}$$
Answer: Option C
$$\eqalign{
& x + \frac{1}{x} = 5{\text{ then, }}\frac{{5x}}{{{x^2} + 5x + 1}} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{5}{{x + 5 + \frac{1}{x}}} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{5}{{x + \frac{1}{x} + 5}} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{5}{{5 + 5}} \cr
& \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \cr} $$
