Detailed Solution

The given equation is,
6 5 x 5 6 2x = 125 216  
Apply the following law of exponent:
a m a n = a m+n  
6 5 x 5 6 x 5 6 x = 5 6 3  
Apply the following law of exponent:
a m b m = (ab) m   ,
6 5 × 5 6 x 5 6 x = 5 6 3   5 6 x = 5 6 3  
By comparing the exponents within the above equation, we obtain
x=3  
Therefore the value of x=3.   Hence option (2) is correct.
